The Columbine Lake hike is a classic 6 mile round trip loop through various high-alpine terrain features. Below are some photos of your 'standard' Winter Park day journey.
Fortunately, I was able to sling along my no non-sense fly fishing rod for this hike. Though, the cutthroat trout I saw from the shore-line did not end up on my hook.
Elevation at Trailhead: 10,052'
Elevation at Destination: 11,600'
One-way Mileage: 2.86
I went for a short day-hike out near Hot-Sulphur Springs, CO to a place called Elk Mountain. Great views of the entire Grand County can be had from the top of this peak.
Wish I had some lunchtime pics of the Parshall Inn (PI) restaurant; next time I guess...
Elevation at Trailhead: 10,577'

We headed up for short am hike towards Devil's Thumb to stretch the legs on a day off from work. Here are some of the results.

Decided to get one more ski day in this year. End of April, 2007 ski trip to Arapahoe Basin, Colorado.
I imagine I ended up with somewhere around 75 ski days for the 2006/2007 ski season. 100 next year...
