Lily Pad Lake Family Hike, updated

Were back from CO and just starting to go through all the pics.  After I got back from running to Lily Pad and showed everyone my photos they wanted to hike in.  The actual trail is only 1.6 1 way if you take the real trail.  Easy enough for everyone.  I did have to carry Mia on my back for the last mile on the return.  Extra workout bonus.

Almost 3k Elevation gain.  Used my Father's Day present Fuel Belt.  Only took 2 of the 4 bottles.  If I wasn't an idiot I would have taken all 4 and made the final mile to the 12,500' summit.  Oh well still a hell of a workout, 2 hrs at 150 avg HR is a good day.

 Failure, my high point

Where I should. have gotten to, to the right of the snow

Home for the next week

A week in the Rockies does the body good.  About to head out for a run at 9000' been a long while since I've done that
