I'm quite partial to Holy Cross. 'Twas my first 14er, and still the best view I remember from any of them (up to 29 now).CHWitte wrote:Holy Cross Wilderness for several reasons...
1. Beauty
2. Remote nature of much of it
3. History - 10th Mountain Division training during WWII in the area of Homestake Creek/Homestake Peak
Favorite Wilderness Area?

Unless, you're saying, that of all the places in Colorado there might be a grizz going undetected, it's the weminuche. Which is fun to think about, but I douubbbt it.

Yes, I have read them both! Agree, great books. I'm always wary of the eyes of the night watching...never know...
