Paget Peak and North Ridge Off-Trail hike on 18-Aug-2019

The creative stoke Sunday was cranked way up. It’s fantastic to go out with a group where most share a love affair with the camera, my heart was full. This trip provided ample photo opportunities and we took full advantage of our rocky mountain landscape. Note, if you wear bright colors we will focus on you, that’s how we roll. Although the day was gloomy all area peaks were visible and the rain nonexistent. This hike is straightforward, start at the trail next to the Great Divide Lodge and go to the lookout. The trail continues up to the summit of Paget Peak then fades. We picked our way up to the high point of the north ridge and were back at the cars by 4:15 p.m. So gentle reader, it you’ve made it this far, then I invite you to indulge in the creative vibe of the RMR.
