"The Decalibron", or combination of the peaks was done in
the order listed, This trail from the Kite Lake TH is a class 2 hike trail runs
(7.0 miles rt. with 3,600ft. gain). Early Saturday morning when I could
not sleep I enjoyed the Meteor Shower over head in the night sky. I usually
sleep in the back of my truck bed during climbs. When the weather is nice at
night, I leave truck cover open and can see the stars all night
long. As with staying at most trail heads for fourteeners in Colorado, on
the weekends people continued to arrive all night and early morning. After
watching the weather closely for the area during the previous week I new that I
was in for a cold morning, and I was not let down. I awoke to frost on the truck
and frozen earth, what would be mud, on the trail.
