My campsite at Eagle Lake in the Wild Basin region of RMNP. Eagles Beak is the prominent brown rock in the distance on the right. Note: I was an idiot and didn't actually use the shovel to dig a trench/wall to block spindrift (blowing snow).

Winter Backpacking to Sky Pond

3/5/2017

1 Comment

 
Trip date:  March 05-06 2017

Granted I haven't spent much time in RMNP in the summer in ~7 years, winter seems like it might be the best time of year to visit.  The crowds are much smaller (most facilities are actually closed) and the scenery is absolutely majestic.  I liked the taste of winter camping I got as a kid and wanted to give backpacking in the snow a shot.    After being turned back by Sky Pond almost exactly a month prior, I looked up backcountry campsites in the area and settled on 'Andrews Creek' between Loch Vale and Sky Pond.
