I attempted to hike to Bison Peak in the Tarryall Mountains. I hiked along Ute Creek Trail through the Lost Creek Wilderness Area. The 6 mile trail at an average 20% grade was too much for me. I was unrealistic about what I could do while in poor physical condition. My rationale was that if I took it slow, that I could overcome my poor conditioning. Once physical exhaustion becomes an unsafe factor, it's wise not to push yourself too far in Colorado back country. I still had an enjoyable hike with many sights from lush creek beds to forest framed overlooks. The drive along CR 77 / Tarryall Road is one of the most beautiful in Colorado even if it isn't in 14er country. Combined with the day before, I had two days where things didn't work out as planned. I was able to improvise some pretty good compromises and still enjoy Colorado.
