Hiking – East Spanish Peak
Join me on this relatively low-altitude hike near La Veta, CO. We'll plan to meet at the East Spanish Peak (lower) TH and then carpool to the upper TH if possible. The TL will plan to camp at/near the TH on Saturday evening. Feel free to join me there.

This should be a fairly moderate hike, though please be prepared for cold/windy conditions due to the time of year (early October).
Plan to meet at the East Spanish Peak lower TH for the carpool to the upper TH by 6 am. We can coordinate a potential carpool on Saturday afternoon from the Front Range area if there's interest in this option.
