Now is a great time to remind everyone venturing into the #backcountry in #Colorado that until July, it is functionally still winter at altitude. It often freezes at night, and can be very cold and wet for days on end. Carry clothing layers, dry backups, and gear to survive wet nights below freezing. Expect deep, wet snow in the woods, making route finding difficult, and travel frankly exhausting and slow. Weather can go from T-shirts to needing a parka in minutes as storms hit the divide.
