    North Crestone Trail Loop
    No lack of water, I went counterclockwise. Wet and cold until climbed into sunlight. Gorgeous meadows and open areas. Added Comanche peak to route. Nice views continued throughout. Multiple creek fordings and trail segments that water drainages

    South Colony Lake / Humboldt Peak
    The views by the South Colony Lakes are incredible - surrounded on all sides by mountains. And the hike to Humboldt Peak is only moderately difficult for a 14er.

    Macey Falls via Horn Creek
    Great hike. Steady climb but not to steep. The trail is shaded much of the way. The hike is actually 11.2 miles. Stopped the track and forgot to restart it.

    Excellent hike. Maybe not a great idea for beginners but no problem for others. There is some exposure,
