1. Blueberry pancakes for breakfast with 2 black bears. Check.
2. Move to high camp and enjoy lunch with an epic view. Check.
3.Summit Eldorado and enjoy a sunset dinner there. Check.
It's all about the meals y'all. Oh and we got a bathroom with a killer view and a toilet seat. We are living large.

Just 2 guys out looking for an adventure. Josh and I quickly found one trying to cross the creek 1 min from the parking lot. Given the steep nature of the trail for the first 2 miles on this trip, we have come up with a list of suggestions for the Park service:
1.Keep the air on please, it's too hot.
2. A lot of the steps are too big, can we make them shorter?
3. More shade, where did all the trees go?
4. What's with all the loose boulders in the boulder field?

All jokes aside, we ate some berries, stole a marmot's lookout to enjoy dinner with a view, and we can't get over the pure beauty of this place. Tomorrow we move up to high camp for further exploration and at least a summit or 2, maybe more.
