Blodgett Peak Open Space

Blodgett Peak up and back

160 acres at the NW corner of C. S. in this poor photo of the trail head sign.

 It's a beautiful October 20


The trail suffered only a little from the floods.



After a mile the trail leaves the valley and heads straight up.


The incline moderates as we reach the saddle and begin to see evidence of the Waldo Canyon fire.

Kind of a grim landscape just below the summit.  Even the rock surfaces are spalling  from the heat.

The view from the Blodgett Peak summit, 9,423', looking NW toward Rampart Reservoir shows the extent of the burn.

  Life goes on...


Found at the edge of the fire zone next to the trail.
