I've been wanting to hike to Horsetooth all season. It's one of the closest high spots to the cabin, but we've never been up there. made sure that my day was free when Tom put it on the schedule one last time for the year. After the hike through the forest up to the saddle between Horsetooth and Lookout, there was some fun scrambling on the big boulders along the north side of Horsetooth to get over to the summit. Once you hit the top of the teeth - what a view!
That patch of aspen that I always love was just below us - already beginning to turn, but it should be brilliant in another week.
And the view to the north wasn't bad either - Tahosa Valley, sloping down from Meeker and back up to Twin Sisters, with Estes Cone in the background.
