Aspen Trail Hike

I do this hike at least once each year.  It's about 5 miles total.  It wasn't as hot as most times I've hiked it.  Best of all - no bugs!  yay.  It was a bit unusual to run into a few other people on the trail.  That doesn't usually happen.  One lady had a very aggressive dog.  She had it on a leash, but I could tell it would drag her around if it wanted to.  She said it was aggressive and it acted that way, so why take it where you might run into other people and dogs?  Nikon P950

I was surprised to see a Mormon cricket up there...and it was still alive.
