Sam and Chenyu invited me to visit them in Boulder for a weekend. We decided to try and day hike Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Operating on no sleep, I didn't make it anywhere near the summit but it was still a pretty cool trail for my first time in Colorado.

Chasm Lake, 11760 ft

I stopped at Chasm Lake, still frozen, before heading back to the parking lot. Sam and Chenyu got a little further up but didn't summit.

A couple days later I went on a short hike in the Flatirons near Boulder.
