Today’s hike to #RainbowMountain, La Montaña de Siete Colores began at 15,200’, higher than I have ever been! In just under 2 1/2 miles it climbs to 16,490’. We had perfect weather.

The historic 1929 lookout is getting a bit of love. The outside has a new coat of paint and the cedar shingles a 30-something in our hiking party shlepped up the mountain will go to restoring the roof. The inside has the names and dates of many people who have made the climb over the decades. 9/1/25
