CHICAGO LAKES

Mt. Evans Wilderness
Round-trip Distance:  9.75 miles
Elevation Gain: 2,224
Highest Elevation: 11,733
 

This was one of those where all I could say was, "I can't believe I live in Colorado!"
On my way out I ran into a couple of guys with Boulder pads, who suggested there was tons of boulders out there! 
I ran across this one that looked like fun!

 
This was my end point, the upper lake. Great views of Mt. Spalding and Mt. Evans. 
Beautiful fall colors and just an amazing place to spend an afternoon!


This is a shot of the lower lake and looking back into the valley I just came up. 
The trail is well marked and lots of info on-line so I'll keep it short. 
But I will say this one is totally worth doing!!


always be swooping
