On day 20 of our Colorado Trail thru hike, we left from Spring Creek Pass after our nero day in Lake City. We climbed to the highest point on the Colorado Trail and then camped at an old mine site a few miles past it.
Day 20 Stats: 17.1 miles, 3,409 ft. elevation gain, -2.086 ft. elevation loss
Day 21 took us from the mine site where we’d camped through amazing amazing San Juan scenery. We camped near the top of Elk Creek canyon in another old mine site.
Day 21 Stats: 23.8 miles; 4,031 ft. elevation gain, -4,239 ft. elevation loss
