we drove to a camp called sunlight, which was outside of pagosa springs colorado to climb the san juan mountains! this trip was one of the hardest things i think i have ever done in my life... imagine carrying all your items need for seven days in one bag. ummmm what??? that was a foreign idea for me but some how i ended up going. something they tell first time backpackers is only bring things you really need so i brought a new shirt for everyday, a few to change into in the evening, a few pairs of shorts, a few pairs of socks, two shoes other then my hiking boots, a pair of sweats, and a few jackets. well lets just say that all of that didn't fit into my backpack. so our guide came over to help me narrow out (thank goodness she did) i guess i didn't realize i was going to have to carry this backpack up the mountain till i had to lift it.. may i remind you it weighed 50 pounds. doesn't sound like a lot till your climbing up the mountain. lets just say i will never bring that much stuff backpacking ever again... after walking 15 miles round trip i learned a lot about my self and things i actually needed haha.
we stayed at this lake for a couple of nights and are food was supposed to be fish from that lake but we didn't catch any...
the most beautiful waterfall with the most beautiful people!
