"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Love this areaI love this area. It can be crowded at times, but if you get in far enough on any trail, the crowds disappear pretty quickly. Coney Flats area is one of my favorites.

beautiful, lightly explored areaand that goes for me also. i've enjoyed fine outings on the arapahoes, navajo/apache and audubon/paiute(in a serious windstorm!). an interesting area just outside my back door and i can't wait to do some more extensive exploration in the coming years.
