The start of the race was delayed by elk - it's mating season (also know as "the rut"). Hard to say if this guy is on the prowl or if he already has his harem
The race went well - a 7:03 pace good for 6th place. Note my lucky Vancouver Canucks tuque
After a stop at The Stanley we headed to Caribou Peak, a 12,310' summit in the Indian Peaks. I don't think it's a common destination - there isn't even a trail off the popular Arapaho Glacier trail to the summit. You just head up at some point
Views are awesome emerging above treeline - the below pics show where Boulder gets 40% of its water
The summit
The fall foliage is maybe close to peak (or approaching it)
These were off Peak-to-Peak (in between the two large signs that say "No Stopping on Road") - must have been 60 cars off to the side
