Permit pending but id like to try the Four Pass Loop in Colorado this summer. I also do a yearly camping trip at Blue Mesa Reservoir near Gunnison, CO.

Oh you’re in luck. Blue Mesa is FULL of water because of all the rain we’ve been getting.

Unfortunately I canceled my camping trip because my wife is pregnant and was advised against swimming in lakes :(

I might head down there for a solo weekend trip so I can do some kayaking. Don’t want to miss seeing that reservoir full! Last time I saw it close to full was 2017 IIRC.

The Sun has a nice comparison photo here. Some of the trails are absolute mud currently but some of the higher elevation trails in Palmer Park in COS are still pretty ok. I try to make it out on the weekends for at least a few hours.
