"Legged up to meet Kelly, Simon, Tim, Virgil, Jimmy at the top but went a stupid way because I misread the map. After lots of switchbacks and mountain bikers, I met the crew up there for a summit beer and we descended back down a smart way together. Nice worthwhile outing for sure. " — benyboy • Mar 2, 2024
"Walked from Evergreen Lake to Evergreen Mountain with Virgil, Edel, Tim, and James. Lovely day, included some snow trudging and scrambling around off trail. Saw wildlife, nice views, nice weather, nice company, great time. " — benyboy • Jan 27, 2024

"1. First stop on a peakbagging hike around Lookout Mountain with Virgil and Tim.
2. Second stop on peakbagging hike with Virgil and Tim. Nice rocks at the top.
3. Fourth stop on a peakbagging hike with Virgil and Tim. Spirits were high directly following a nice lunch indoors.
4. Explored this peak as seen on Caltopo but not the PB DB. Fifth stop on a peakbagging hike with Virgil and Tim. Post-apocalyptic vibes at the top. Saw a deer carcass on the way back to Windy Saddle Park.
5. 7th tag along the peakbagging hike with Virgil and Tim. Spoke with a nice Jeffco Open Spaces ranger in the visitor center. Very nice space." — benyboy • Dec 2, 2023
