Did Snow Peak and Zodiac View from Gore Lake last weekend. Great suggestions, thanks! Camped at Gore Lake and overnight I couldn't figure out if I was in the Gores, or had pitched my tent on a landing strip at DIA. Next time I fly west from DIA, I know the flight path will take me right over Gore Lake. :o

^Were women on the trail offering you shots of booze? That area can be crazy with tourists

Wow Bill, that sounds like quite the party! It was actually very quiet, saw no one on the hike in, were the only ones camped at the lake, but ran into several groups far down the trail on the hike out. Prolly helped that it was a Fri/Sat.
