Buchanan Pass (3) / Red Deer Lake

We went to Buchanan Pass in the Indian Peaks again. It's pretty convenient and mellow

Today made the 13.8-mile round trip trek 1,772' up to Red Deer Lake at 10,372'

More snow and the trails are getting icy but still no problem





Going straight would have ended at St Vrain Glaciers. I went left







Approaching Red Deer Lake





It was looking a little stormy with flurries so "hustled" back



The run was a little over 3 hours and followed by outstanding (boca) burgers and shakes in Lyons...
