We woke up kinda late this morning, and as we were packing up, Maleak showed up. We flip flopped with him as we climbed, and descended various mountains through the end of the San Juans. Which were absolutely amazing! We got into a wilderness area and climbed up a mountain that has a couple creeks running through it's valley meadow at 12,300 feet just outside Silverton. Bo was the happiest I've seen him this whole trip today as he ran around next to the trail off leash for a bit. We joined up with the continental divide trail today as well... I could see us doing that. We climbed pretty much all day, ups and downs, as we were getting close to another climb that would put us near 13,000 feet Maleak came walking down the trail towards us, going South. He told us the from the ridge he could see a couple of storm systems coming our way. We decided we would wait them out rather than run 6 miles on a ridge that goes from 12,500" - 13,000" with absolutely no cover. One storm has passed, and the other is on the way. I think we'll stay here tonight and get up early tomorrow to watch the sun raise from the ridge.
