run/hike 36:55 [2] 2.8 mi (13:11 / mi)
Nice (and short) trip up from Monarch Pass, 1.4 mi each way, hike up (23:09), jogged down easily (13:46), stopping to take a few pictures. Nice day, got done just before the thunderstorms rolled in. Altitude 11K+, didn't feel too bad, though I wasn't exactly pushing it.
Route.

Note
A few photos from the last couple of days....
My nephew Daniel, who we visited in Denver. He just finished taking the bar exam. Assuming he passed, he'll start working for the Public Defender Office in Golden. A fine and smart young man.
Stopped in Canon City for some rogaine practice. Interesting course, lots of slopes, excellent rogaine practice as I was searching in the bushes much more often than I cared.
Next stop was Royal Gorge, pretty neat canyon, though we passed on the tourist trap at the suspension bridge (which I wouldn't have walked out on anyway).
Meanwhile, Gail was trying out her new brace (on the right knee), mixed reviews so far.
Last stop was at Monarch Pass, where if you pee at the sign (misplaced by about 100 yards) it all goes in the Pacific.
And the ad for the gondola lift was technically accurate....
I hiked up, passed the fork to the right for the Continental Divide Trail, where the sign says no 4-wheeled vehicles (duh)....
And made it up to the top, where I assume I got radiated pretty thoroughly.
