Curicanti National Recreation Area, Colorado. Peggy and I hiked from the parking area off Rte. 50 near the bridge over Blue Mesa Reservoir, up the Dilon Pinnacles Trail. The easy trail climbed slowly from the lake up to a spur (~7,700 ft.) below the pegmatite spires for excellent views. Following it west we reached the end loop and then scrambled up to the rocks for a proper perspective of Peggy and the pegmatites. I scrambled up the scree between the spires and could see a way up above them. I wanted to go up but I turned back. The area reminded me of the hoodoo's in Utah.
