Marmot Pass, sign.
I have not written about Marmot Pass yet, perhaps out of shame. It is a hike I looked so forward to doing. I had heard the rumors of it being a beautiful place and holding breathtaking views at the pass. So, Sunday, March 1st was the day to hike Marmot Pass. Not much went my way, we got a late start and the trail was very icy. About a mile and a half away from the pass, the ice got worst and the sun was disappearing. With these conditions, we knew we had to turn around.
The hike was never too challenging, but I could see how it could be pretty challenging to others who don't go out as much as I do. It is a captivating forest with beauty all around. The sound of the river makes the hike even more peaceful. It was very enjoyable.
I'm completely bummed I did not make it to the pass, but I know I will be back shortly. But this time, not only to conquer the pass, but go the extra few miles and conquer Buckhorn Mountain.
Until the next adventure.
