Late in the day today, I decided to hike to the top of Grandeur Peak to get some sunset photos. I hadn't hiked to the top of Grandeur Peak since Labor Day in 2005--almost exactly six years ago.
I started hiking from the Church Fork trailhead at about 5:30 PM. The temperature was fairly cool, especially in the forested portion of the hike. I made it to the summit at about 7:30 PM.
The view of the sunset from the summit was awesome. I lingered up there until it was almost completely dark. Aside from missing a switchback and heading straight down the mountain for a couple hundred feet before I realized my mistake, the hike back down was, thankfully, uneventful.
