we were super excited to get up and over Georgia Pass, and got an earlier than usual start. we also wanted to avoid an inevitable thunderstorm at altitude with no tree protection.
the hike up the pass was amazing, meadows with wild flowers, crazy high mountain views, a little snow pack, some insane jeep roads (seriously, how the fuck do you get up here with a jeep?), and beautiful forests. we were stoked.

trees and mountains and sky all day
we headed down Georgia Pass and met a man that looked like our old neighbor Ralph. so there's that. when you see about 3 people a day, that's notable. after the pass we headed up another giant hill where we had views of Keystone and Breckenridge, once we started to head down the west side.
as we started to descend I started to bonk pretty hard. I had a headache, chills, and nausea. this was definitely due to not getting enough calories. after we set up the tent, C cooked dinner and took care of me while I warmed up and rested. we know at this point we have 6 miles to Breckenridge where we'll have two nights at the Fireside Inn and able to refuel.
