Campsite just outside of Radium, Colorado
It’s getting colder at night and the tent gets really wet with dew and condensation on the inside. I can’t stand putting the tent away wet and dirty, but we’re trying to get out earlier so I must. But I just can’t stand it. So messy! We have lots of climbing today, but we’re also rewarded with the biggest descent on the whole Divide route today, something over 2,000 feet in just four miles or something. It’s crazy. We start in the pines and descend through pinon and juniper to the sage brush and then the Colorado River. Yes, it’s all the way up here and it’s surprisingly large at this point. Radium is not really a town, but a handful of houses and a railroad. We free camp just outside of town just as it’s getting dark.
