Last stop!

Last night, I completed a truly epic week of backpacking in the Needle Range, San Juan Mountains (SW Colorado). Looking at the photos, I have so many stunning ones--it will take me a little time to sort through. 

Today I arrived at the final stop of my retreat, a spectacular loft apartment in Crestone, Colorado.

I adore Crestone. I've passed through several times before and after hikes in the Sangres, and have camped in the area for quick overnighters before starting a hiking trip, but have never actually stayed any longer than that. Crestone has a unique spirit about it--it is a very "earthy" community.
