A Highlight

I forgot to mention one of my favorite moments on Engineer Pass! Tucked away on a green hilltop with beautiful surrounding trees and a stream nearby is the very cabin once owned by Henry David Thoreau... It is quite an adorable cabin and amidst magnificent mountains. No wonder he was inspired to write about nature. As an english minor and as one who loves to read and write, I was ecstatic and dreamt of writing the whole rest of the trail. Aaaah it was beautiful...

Hey,
that is a cool thing to see such an inspiring cabin. I loved living in the mountains of Colorado last fall.
