This was part of the trail to Electric Pass from our campsite at Cathedral Lake. We were well above the tree line here and on our way to 13,600 feet (4145 meters). The pass is probably so-named because of the electrical storms there. The inset shows the valley up which we hiked to Cathedral Lake.

This is Phacelia bakeri, Baker's Phacelia, photographed at the top of Electric Pass in the Colorado Rockies.

This is where I've been the last while. The photo looks north from Electric Pass in the Colorado Rockies near Aspen. My 14 year old grandson and I drove to Colorado last week, met one of my brothers and one of his grandsons, 11 years old. We camped over the weekend in Carbondale, Colorado and then spent three days backpacking to Cathedral Lake at 11866 feet (3617 m). We day-hiked from there to Electric Pass at 13,600 feet (4145 m). We had three good days of hiking and one very wet night. It was the first time backpacking or hiking in the mountains for the two grandsons and they both enjoyed it and did very well.
