GGG July Schedule-closed July 18-27, 2022
By Linda Ehlers - July 6, 2022
Hi Everyone,
  I had a great time hiking in the southwest corner of the state (Ridgway/Ouray/Silverton/Telluride area).
Snowpack was 24% of average. So we were able to get up high in June without traversing snow fields.
Luckily, the area has been getting some good Monsoon moisture the last 2 week. Â
Linda at Ice Lake with Golden Horn (13,780') in theÂ
left forground. I hiked this peak years ago.
Great Glass Galore will be closed July 18-27
for my next hiking trip to Pagosa Springs.
So make an appointment by the 17th to pick up needed supplies.
(Note: I also am not available on Thursdays when I hike with friends.)
(I will also be closed August 7-14 & 20-26.)
Have a great summer!
Linda Ehlers
P.S. The fall class schedule will come out around mid August.
