I am a Japanese female who came to the U.S. for the research opportunity as a scientist.
In my free time, I go hiking, backpacking, XC skiing. I love to be in the deep wilderness. I write my adventures from all over the world and Introduce the beauty of nature, from a viewpoint of Japanese.

Maroon Bells 4 Pass Loop Backpacking Day2
日本語は英語の下にあります。
This day we passed two passes. The first one was West Maroon Pass. The amazing aspect of this loop is it is always great view, not only at the top of the pass. Besides in September, there are many wild flowers. I hadn't expected there would have been such many flowers. In the picture below, so many cute yellow flowers are on the slope. Then there is a lake and mountains. Such a gorgeous view.
Next pass was Frigid Air pass. The last part of the climb was a butt-kicker. It was so steep. At the top, the view was amazing, but as the name of the pass indicates, it was frigid. Frigid air was there. I wore all the layers on the top, but still cold. Mr.N wanted to take a nap there, but I refused. I needed to walk to warm body up.
Mr.N and I discussed the future possibility of doing CDT, because I was amazed by Colorado hike. There are many great places to hike even only in Colorado.
In the evening, we set up a camp and Mr.N went to restroom (in the wilderness). Then deer came to greet me.
The deer was a kid and with adult deer. The small deer was very curious and looking at me for a while. Looked like she wanted to play with me. It was attempting, but I limited myself, because it is wildlife.
