Well, Kristine is still going strong even at 24 weeks pregnant with our little girl! As I had never actually driven over Loveland Pass before and there were some easier hikes accessible from the pass itself, we decided to make a pit stop at Loveland Pass for some en route to Denver for our good friend Jesse Hill’s 13th annual summer solstice extravaganza this past Saturday. We joined the tourist trap by parking on the pass and hiking up the mellow east/northeast ridge to 13er Mt. Sniktau’s summit.
We didn’t get hiking until maybe 11:30am and returned to our car at around 1:30pm.
Kristine did excellent and it was a fun little Chalk family outing before an afternoon and evening filled with beer, brisket, 87 lbs of pork straight from a whole pig, and late night taco bar all courtesy of Jesse’s extraordinary generosity.
