22 Aug 2008 - Elliot's Ridge

Last Monday, we hike Elliot's Ridge with our friends Gary and Melody. Elliot's Ridge is north of Silverthorne about 25 miles. The ridge runs along between Summit County and Eagle County and is a great hike because you immediately open up above tree line and have 360 degree views of the mountains. On one side you can see the Vail ski area with Holycross (14,005') and great up close views of the Eagles Nest Wilderness and Gore Range mountains.
