2025 Colorado Trip Day 4 - Backpack Into Lizard Head Wilderness

Backpacked into Lizard Head Wilderness on the Woods Lake/Navajo Lake trail. Ascended 2200 ft in approximately 2-2.5 miles. Experienced total exhaustion. Camped at tree line, about 11,520 ft altitude. Not as good of sleep as night before. Note to self: buy new sleeping pads if ever backpack again. 

No photos because we were EXHAUSTED!

2025 Colorado Trip Day 3 - Woods Lake Campground

Day 3 of CO trip.  Breakfast at the hotel then we drove to Woods Lake Campground, next to Lizard Head Wilderness, Telluride area. Drive through Ridgeway and Montrose to get there. Nice drive! Camped at site 28. Walked around the lake some, very pretty small lake. Made cheese quesadillas and black bean soup for dinner. Scott made a nice fire and we had a full, or v close to full, moon that lit up the sky and mountains. Sleeping wasn’t too bad in the tent though quite cozy with Bindi in the tent with us.
