BPX Trip – 3-Day: Abyss Lake Trail from Burning Bear TH

This should be a lovely fall backpack, hopefully close to the peak of Aspen gold. We'll take both days 1 and 3 slowly to allow for photos.

We'll meet at the Wooly Mammoth Parking lot along I-70 in Golden at 7:00 a.m. for carpooling. 

This is an exploratory trip (meaning trip leader has not done this hike before). 

Please note that the given elevation gain is only for the hike to camp. 

The dayhike on day 2 has a bit over 2000' elevation gain. Dayhike pace will probably be faster than backpacking pace, but we'll stay together and wait for slower paced hikers.
