| Description: | Mt. Sneffels is a fourteener located between Ouray and Telluride. We planned to hike it on Sunday. The plan fell short due to several factors. I by mistake drove higher up than I planned, taking a 4wd road rather than stopping at the 2wd trailhead. The road got pretty rough at spots, but, I only realized the mistake after we got to the 4wd parking. I was concerned how we'd make it down with the car in the rain. And, since it was a high monsoon season, the rain was pretty much guaranteed. So, instead, we just hiked the approach to the mountain, and drove down around 10am before the rains came. Still, it was a good trip to check out a pictoresque high basin with loads of wildflowers and great views.
Mt. Sneffels je nejvyšší hora mezi Ouray a Telluride, vysoká něco přes 14000 stop. Na neděli jsme naplánovaly výstup na ni. Plán se nezdařil z několika důvodů. Ráno jsem omylem nezaregistroval konec udržované cesty a pokračoval výše po cestě pro džípy. Auto to vyjelo, ale pár úseků to bylo o chlup. Měl jsem obavy, jak by to šlo dolů kdyby začalo pršet. Tak jsme místo toho vystoupali jen na úpatí hory a asi v 10 ráno úspěšně sjeli dolů. I cesta stála za to, protože pohledy a květiny byly nádherné.
