Hope Pass

Last weekend I went to a training camp for the Leadville Trail 100. It was an awesome weekend meeting people from all over the country who came to Leadville to run portions of the course and enjoy some high altitude fun. On Sunday, we ran (actually hiked) to the top of Hope Pass. This is the highest point of the course at 12,600'. It would be so wonderful to smile this much on Hope Pass during the race, since we'll be crossing it twice at mile 45 & 55. A little over seven weeks until go time.
