10.1 Miles
Milk and Honey's Farm
We got up early and headed up to Jones Pass and continued along the spine of the divide all the way up to 13,200ft! The clouds had rolled in and as we left the pass it began sleeting small ice balls. Better than rain in my opinion. We moseyed on further upward along the spine of the divide and the clouds had started producing snow. Along the highest section, it was a strait down drop a thousand feet or so of exposed rockiness. It was a little wet but not frizen so we got that done asap before it had the option to change its mind. 
Heading down the valley, the snow turned to rain. We were cruising to get to the road so we could be whisked away to comfort. Even with the weather, as we got within three miles of the road there were plenty of day hikers roughing it through the rain up to a scenic lake. As we got close the clouds broke and we were greeted with cheesesteaks and beer by our friend from the Appalachian Trail, Milkman and Honeybee who love over in Longmont. Now it's time for a couple of days of R&R.
