I was going to go backpacking up to Cottonwood Lake tomorrow and then spend a couple days climbing Crestone Needle and Crestone Peak, but it looks like they got a fair dumping of snow last weekend and it hasn't melted off. In fact, pretty much all of the fourteeners in Colorado are covered in loose, unconsolidated snow. Which is a bummer because it's too soft and light for snowshoes, crampons, or ice axes to really do much good, but it's deep enough to prevent boots from getting positive grip on rocks and it'll make hiking through it a pain.

So I may not go into Colorado tomorrow morning as planned. I may take a trip down to the Gila, or maybe just take it easy... who knows. More on this when I make up my mind.
