Thanks! Old article…the joys of having a nearly 20 yr old website presence! 🙂

The link in this line is broken:

“I did a fairly ambitious trip there two years ago that took in the ridge line”

I’m pretty sure I did a similar one this weekend – half of the South Fork trail plus the entire ridge from Ptarmigan through Ute Peaks. Rough stuff.

I had almost completely forgotten about Ptarmigan. I lived in Dillon back in 96-97, and had done a little light hiking in the area. That looks like Buffalo Mountain in the 2nd photo…. my 1st Colorado hiking experience. It was the 2nd week after moving there from Maryland. We took WAY too long on the way up, made it above timberline but not the summit. We were inexperienced kids from the flat lands. It was almost completely dark when we decided to turned around and stumble our way back down without even a headlamp.
