| 1:21.8 | This is your host, Kurt Linville. |
| 1:23.4 | Today, Travis and I are doing a show. |
| 1:26.5 | And the first part of the show, we're going to do a little trip report about a backpacking trip we took with our boys a couple of weeks ago. And it's about climbing James Peak, which is a 13er here in the front range of Colorado. And I have Travis on the line. Travis, how are you, man? Good, buddy. How's everybody doing today? I really enjoyed our backpacking trip, and we took off |
| 1:45.6 | to go into James Peak Wilderness to spend a couple of nights. We were going to do some trout fishing |
| 1:50.1 | and hike around a little bit, and we kind of accidentally climbed James Peak. Yeah, that wasn't |
| 1:55.7 | really the intention. I think we were kind of planning on going for a day hike. This was more of a trip to get the boys out there. |
| 2:03.3 | My son Harley, it was the day before his 12th birthday. |
| 2:07.7 | And I wanted to get him out and get him on his first backpacking trip and maybe take a day hike without the packs the next day. |
| 2:13.7 | And yeah, you're right. |
| 2:15.5 | We just kind of decided that James Peake looked too tempting, and we thought |
| 2:19.1 | we might go up it. So it ended up being his first big ascent. He was 11 years and 364 days, |
| 2:28.0 | and it kicked his butt, but he made it up. Yeah, it was a good climb. James Peak Wilderness is |
| 2:33.5 | nestled in the deep valley right in front of James Peak, and it's just gorgeous for as close to the front range of Colorado as it is. It's hard to find wilderness like this that is that accessible, but you have to take a four-wheel drive road, so if you don't have a four-wheel drive vehicle, you know, you can't get up there. So that keeps the numbers of people down a little bit. |
