My first Colorado peak! This was my fourth hike of the week during my Colorado vacation. We parked on the exit ramp at Vail Pass (exit 190 rest area off of I-70) and took the Corral Creek trail up through beautiful meadows. The trail petered out and we followed the ridge up from the south, up Point 12380, and then on to the true summit. We saw some ptarmigan up at the summit; so cool! Temps were cool with a breeze, so we booked it down to a few more points along the ridge, including Peak 12089. We went down from there, met back up with the trail, and then the sun came back out on the way down. A truly beautiful day!
