Day #53-Walking or skiing? Miles hiked: 27.0

After eating leftover spaghetti for breakfast, it was time to hitch back to Tennessee Pass and get back on trail. The first few miles were gentle and even came with these cool-looking bunkers.

Next up was a lovely 2500+ ft Colorado climb up to Kokomo Pass, but I eat these climbs for breakfast now!

The rest of the afternoon was a slog from dropping off the north side of the pass and contending with waste-deep post holes again. Like it or not, I eat those for breakfast too. 

By evening, I arrived at Copper Mtn ski area and got to go to my favorite place in my head again-ripping down the mountain with GoGo. Winter will come soon enough…

Goodnight from a small ledge halfway up the climb to Breck!
