Weminuche Wilderness Colorado Backpacking Trip

[Mr. Fishunt]

All,
Just thought I would share our week long backpacking trip in the Weminuche Wilderness in Southwest Colorado.
I am blessed to be able to share this with my two boys and friend.
We did 44 miles in 6 days with 5500' elevation gain.
We stayed at the Pagosa Hot Springs on the last night to soak!

Regards,
Mr. Fishunt

What temps did you have? Don't look like november or dec.

 

[Mr. Fishunt]

I should of stated it was the week of the July 4th.
The temperatures ranged from 78 to 30 degrees.
We had frost one night when we camped at 12800 feet.
It was the most strenuous hike I've been on. I will be 50 in a week and am glad that my health allows me the ability to enjoy the wilderness.

Regards,
Mr. Fishunt

Awesome just plain awesome. That is some beautiful country. Thank you for taking us along.

Reminds me of a trip I went on over 30 years ago to the High Unitas in Utah right down to supplementing freeze dried food with fresh trout. Doesn't get much better than that, so thanks too for bringing back the memories.

Thanks for your help and comments, Hoss.
We caught fish every day and we actually brought back probably five pounds of food.
The fishing was phenomenal on every stream and lake we tried but one.

Regards,
Mr. Fishunt

Pretty awesome to take a trip like that. I lived in Montrose for a few years and know that area well. I think it's one of the most beautiful sections of N. America. Also did a week long backpacking trip along the Russian Lakes Trail in Alaska about 10 years ago. Thanks for sharing the pics!
