This week we have another, even bigger wildfire (> 40’000 acres/175 square km so far) just 15 miles from my QTH. Plenty of road-closures (and smoke), cutting me off from lots of SOTA peaks around here. To get some fresh air and to celebrate my one year SOTA anniversary, I will try to get into Rocky Mountain National Park to activate two summits. If it works out, here the details:
Summit: WØC/FR-123 (Trail Ridge – CO)
Date: 13 June 2012
Time: Approx.: 1545 UTC – 16:45UTC
Location: N-Colorado / DN70ck
Elevation: 3758 m / 12329 ft – 6 Point(s)

and
Summit: WØC/FR-Ø19 (Sundance Mountain)

bold mountaineers... there are no old-bold mountaineers.
Hiking and mountain climbing are potentially hazardous activities particularly in Colorado with its extreme elevations. I am not accepting responsibility for any death or injury resulting from activations based on my trip reports. Proper training, experience, and personal capability assessment is required - enjoy!
