Nice photo of Sunlight and beyond, Windom and Sunlight make for an awfully nice day in the mountains, then a nap at Twin Lakes before the storms build and you have to race down to camp. The first 3 times I went in there we could camp at Twin Lakes, that is not allowed these days. It was sure entertaining to sit in camp at the lakes in the evening and watch the Mountain Goats climb up the head wall between Sunlight and Eolus, jumping from one toehold to the next like it was nothing, then they would be over the top for the night. My photo above was 2007, it made my 6th time there, and the evening storms were pretty harsh, but it was dryer for 2 nights on the Vallecito River, it was a pretty casual trip overall. Next I want to wander about on the Cimarron River drainage below Uncompahgre Peak, your photo from that area fuels that desire. I'll be in Crested Butte in July, so I'm planning time there then.
