High Adventure Day - Indian Peaks Photoshoot

Posted by Prescott on September 23, 2009

The High Adventure Day on September 26th will be a day trip to Little Blue Lake in the Indian Peaks Wilderness area.

NEW: We will leave at 7am from the Church, so be there about 6:45am.  Bring gear to be at high altitude in cold and windy conditions.  If you can, bring a ski pole or trekking pole, since we may encounter some snow.  Also, bring a trail lunch.

This will be a 7 mile trip to 11,500 feet in one of the most photographable mountain cirques in the State.   There are waterfalls and tall shear cliffs that drop into the water.  Little Blue Lake will involve some rock scrambling and strong hiking skills.  It is an excellent kick-off to a Philmont training program.   If we are successful time-wise, we will attempt to route-find our way to Mount Toll.

This trip is open to only older Scouts 13+ and First Class (unless you are officially on the Philmont list).  Bring your digital cameras, because we will have a photo gallery exhibition on the website for those who shoot the best shots.  Travel in this area is restricted to 12 heartbeats per crew, so we’ll break into two groups if we have more than that.

This is fall in the high country at its finest and you shouldnt miss it.

Contact Mr. Coleman at prescottcoleman@live.com if you want to be included.  We need a couple of adults to be involved as well.
