Finally... Sky Chutes

Current music: Modest Mouse - Doin' the Cockroach

Hulsey and I have wanted to hike the Sky Chutes out of Copper for several months now. We finally did it today. After the long hike my body is tired. Much of the hike is over 12,000 feet (3636m). After coming back to a lower elevation Jeff made a comment about feeling like we had been walking on the moon. The highest elevation we reached was at the top of Peak 8 of the Tenmile Range, 12,987 feet (3935m).

Here are a few pics...
