RE: Mountains, mountain goats, and 44 hours of sleep-deprived madness: A few words and photos from the Elks Traverse

That sounds like a fun little 3 month detour…

I lived in Leadville for almost 5 years. It's a cool town, but it is getting way too crowded for my liking.

Sort:  

I think everywhere is far too crowded these days...especially the US...And I live right in the centre of Melbourne...lol..

So I look forward to the day when you can come over here and I can be your tour guide- especially for the Daintree Rainforest in Far North QLD. Many mountains to climb up through there...like this one- the mother mountain- Thornton's Peak...https://wanderstories.space/thornton-peak/

Do you know Statebridge, near Edwards/Avon?

Never been to Australia before, but I've heard about the mountains there. Thornton Peak looks like a fun hike. 10 meters of rainfall a year, that is nuts.

I've heard of Statebridge, but never been there. I generally stay away from Edwards/Avon and all of Vail valley, it's not really my style over there.

Yeah so many great mountains/etc to hike over here- you would love it.

I only visited Edwards/Avon a few times cause I made some friends there and it was them that introduced me to this fantastic little .....venue...called Statebridge and when I went there a couple of times, there was nothing there but the venue and a handful of Tee Pees up the top. And then the hot spring on the rivers edge.

Sounds magical. I am guessing it's overrun with tourists these days…

Yeah probably. The 'town' had 5 houses in it when I was there...
