We’re now following the Colorado Trail, and we start meeting more hikers. Some have been hiking the trail as long as we’ve been out, and will continue towards Durango from here.

Kokomo Pass provides a nice view of the giant Climax mine, whose tailings reservoir drowned the town of Kokomo where Pete’s dad once lived while working as a miner.

On our way down Cataract Creek some hikers point out this picturesque cataract, which I missed the last time I was through here.

We hike for a while with Bo, here examining the old bunkers at Camp Hale, an old 10th mountain division munitions training area.

At Tenessee Pass Ann meets us, and I’m home again for a night.
