Indian Peaks Sans Snow

This photo was taken November 10, at 12,300 feet in the Indian Peaks Wilderness, Colorado.

Andy Rice and I did a roundabout off-trail loop up and down this twelver one afternoon, because we did just about all that could be done in a place like Ward (i.e., drive through it).

At the summit, we were reminiscing about a snowshoe trek we took three years prior - almost to the day -
in deep snow that could only be described as wintry.

Granted, the Indian Peaks aren't exactly a dumping ground for Colorado's Great Storms, but we couldn't help but wonder if we should still be wearing sneakers up there in November.

Ward... do they still have the sign in the middle of the street that reads "15 MPH - Speeders will be shot!"
