July 16th, 2009 (Day 9) Apres Summit

Well, our time on Grays summit was over, and now we began our descent back to the parking lot.........






Ginny and Cindy waited for Bob and Karl to descend from Torreys Peak, and then we hiked down the rest of the way together...

We crossed the little stream with the small alpine pools of cold clear rocky mountain water....








The final stretch through Stevens Gulch..................

Looking back up the trail........



Back at the trailhead, the stream looked refreshing.... We all decided to cool our feet...

Wow !! That water is cold !!
Boy, that water looks refreshing, but was it ever COLD!!! I couldn't keep my feet in it for more than a couple of seconds without getting cramps..

Smile for the camera................

After our experience coming up the road as two groups, we thought we would try to fit all 8 of us into the Edge for the ride back down...... Cindy & Barb packed themselves into the way-back section.......... Comfy....

Right Barb???

Bob figured he could help navigate us through the rough spots by getting a bird's eye view ahead................


Back through the rough spots, we meet up with Dave & Nitsa, back from their adventure in Herman's Gulch......


Bob & Ginny have invited us back to Frisco to relax in the hot tub. Who are we to say 'NO'.....

Now this is livin' ..............







Thanks to our hosts, Bob.& Ginny...........

This ends our day at Grays, Torreys, and Herman's Gulch. They weather has been the best of the trip. Everyone had a great time.....
