Not Quite Never Summer Traverse

Photos from a partial traverse of the northern edge of the Never Summer Mountains in northern Colorado. This trip took place in late October 2007. This area is part of the focus for BSA's new Northern Front Range Chapter, headed by Ryan Miller and Zac Wiebe of Fort Collins. Temperatures were warm most of the day, with clear skies above the low cloud layer sitting over the Front Range. Good turns were had up high on wind slab!
