Come along as K6TNT and myself activate Robb’s Peak in the Eldorado National Forest. We underestimate the amount of snow on the trail and it takes way longer to do the 6 mile round trip! Robb’s Peak also has Robb’s Hut that was that cabin that the Rangers used to sleep in when at fire watch at the lookout, it is a snow shoe and cross country ski destination in normal years.
