"Last Hiking Hurrah" itinerary



Arrive in Boulder (A).  Visit with Kyle and Cayce.  Explore, walk the streets, hang out in cool coffee shops, act like we are townies without a Subaru (everyone out there seemed to have Subarus with Yakima top carriers). 

Go backpacking with the Lamys for the weekend in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains (not pictured in map, but it is near H).

Return to Boulder.  Rent a car.  Drive to Moab, UT (B).  Go to Arches & Canyonlands National Parks. 

Drive south to Grand Canyon National Park, AZ (C). Go on a rafting trip on the Colorado River (D).

Drive back to Colorado.  Go to Mesa Verde National Park (E).

Drive through Durango, Silverton, and Ouray (F).  Hike and camp in the San Juan Mountains (G).

Drive to Great Sand Dunes National Park (H). 

Stay in Salida for the night (I).

Return to Boulder (J).

Fly home to Southwest Virginia.

Pictures and details to come now that we are back at home!
