McCullough Gulch

  The day after Run the Rockies, Nick, Lindsey, Andy (her fiance), and I went for a short morning hike in Blue River. On the way, we headed past the Quandary Peak trailhead, and I have never seen a more crowded trailhead in my life. Anyway, we headed down to the end of the road. We hiked past what appeared to be a mine, which is still in use. The we hiked along a small creek quite steeply up along the south side of Quandary. It was another gorgeous morning. The moon was out and there wasn't a cloud to be found. We hiked up to waterfall, where I took some photos of Lindsey and Andy for their "Save the Date" cards. Then, we continued up a little further to a lake just below Fletcher Mountain. It was incredibly windy at the lake, so we did not stay long. Overall, it was a very nice hike and weekend in the mountains.
