Looking to do the Collegiate Loop. FarOut says 161 miles, but other sources have 163.
Arrived in Leadville yesterday to spend two nights at the Inn in the Clouds trying to get acclimated to the elevation. Today I am driving back to Denver to catch Rockies - Astros game. Hopefully the 5pm thunderstorm does not delay the 6:40 start (51% participation). Tommorow I will drop off my resupply boxes at Mount Princeton and Monarch Crest. Will then park at Twin Lakes and camp and start Thursday with the Eastern Collegiates and finish with the West. Hopefully all the snow on trail on the West will have melted by then.
Drove to Montana but was so hazy you couldn't really see anything. Same with Wyoming. At least Colorado is clear. With MT, I have been to all 48 contiguous states. Just AK and HI to go.

The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.
