Trico peak

[John B]

It has been a bit of a longer wait than usual for snowmelt in the Colorado mountains.  I was able to finally get out to do a climb of Trico peak (13,321ft) with my brother and a mutual friend of ours this past Friday.  This peak is located in the San Juan mountains between Ouray and Silverton, conveniently just west of red mountain pass.  Still had to deal with some snow (snowshoes were required in a few spots), but the bluebird weather and unmatched scenery made it all worthwhile.

That's nice! Early summer before the monsoons can be so nice in Colorado!
