Sangres

I definitely was feeling it in some moments where I'm like, God, why did I make this section so challenging? And that would particularly be the case on some of the longer food carries.

And so the Sangres, for example, were unrelenting where you go from the San Luis Valley up a 14er.

back down to the San Luis Valley to check out a waterfall, back up a 13er, do a ridge traverse, drop down to the sand dunes, across the sand dunes, back up a pass that's over 13,000 feet of elevation, and you do two more of them.

Then you do this super scary traverse over like three 13ers and two 14ers.

And, you know, it's kinda hard when you're walking across the San Luis Valley, for example, and someone's like, "I can get you to the other side." [both laugh] It's like, no.

Or I think someone even commented on one of the videos, "You know you can drive to the base of the Sangres?"

Mm-hmm.

And I was like, "Those car things sound pretty convenient."

I was thinking about them like, uh, I know that, um, folks might look at the map and be like, "Man, he goes from, uh, he goes over to Westcliffe, then Canyon City, then Victor and Colorado Springs, Divide, then Bailey."

Yeah.

What if we just kept going north through the Sangres and then into the Sawatch Range?

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
