It's frustrating enough that I didn't make it the previous two times, but the fact that the guide books describe it as a relatively easy hike just rubs salt in the wound.
This time I went back to the St. Vrain trailhead where Jen, the dog-brains, and I all started the first time a couple of weeks ago. In retrospect I wish we'd pushed on just a little bit harder then since we were probably on 15 minutes or so from the top.
Of course my phone started working once I got up top, and I had 6 voice mail messages and a text message. I spent the hour that I was up there returning calls. The GPS map shows me pacing a circle the entire time.
The view is spectacular, although the weather didn't completely cooperate. Long's and Meeker were both covered with clouds. Still, there were some good pics:
Note to self: Next time tumble dry the hat on low...

LOL ... you've lost all that weight and the hat's STILL too tight?? :)
Well, I didn't lose it from my head. Gosh!
Plus I washed the hat the night before, and might have been a little aggressive with the dryer setting.
