Kite Lake at 12,000 Feet

ColoradoOPUS OP4The Ireland, Odom and Liner FamiliesSeptember 2023

Five owner couples converged on Creede, Colorado for a multi-day meetup: Bear Creek camps, fishing on the Rio Grande, and a 10-mile round-trip grind up to Kite Lake, sitting above 12,000 feet.

"If you haven't taken that drive you should, we passed by the Enchanted Rockies and Great Sand Dunes... the entire drive is pretty amazing."

Mountain weather did what mountain weather does, and the gear answered:

"I've always loved the canopy but the Annex provided a ton of space when it rained for 24 hours straight."
