Just got back from hiking the Colorado Trail for about three hours… very beautiful, it is great to be back in Colorado! I was going at a pretty brisk pace but I was more winded than I expected. Ouch, I hope I am ready for tomorrow. I wanted to do more today, actually go on a longer hike, but it took me forever to get to Keystone. Between rental car delays, traffic and trouble finding my condo, I didn’t get into my room until around 5PM.

Got some Mexican food tonight and had a beer in a restaurant in Keystone…the restaurant looked like it was going to be good but the food was pretty crappy (how do you make bad tacos?). The condo I am staying in is great though, I will post pictures on Sunday when I give a review of the Keystone area.

The plan for tomorrow is to wake up at 5AM and be at the trailhead by about 6AM. I think I can knock out both mountains and be back down to my car in around 8 hours, by 2PM or so.

I am going to be using my same Camelback backpack that I used in my Mt. Shavano climb and for the most part I will be bringing the same gear. I am bringing an extra bottle of water as a buffer. So, when the 100oz. of water in my Camelback runs dry all of a sudden, I still have a little water. For food, I have a sandwich, some chips, lots of granola bars and 2 mini-Snickers…one for each summit. I have a feeling that it is going to be tough to sleep tonight…I am pretty pumped up.
