Mountains
The Continental Divide in July.

The downside to hiking in July and August is it’s peak season.

The upside to hiking in July and August is the warm weather.

The compromise is learning which trails are rarely traveled.

Time of day, parking accessibility, and trail difficulty are natural filters for usage.

Learn these three idiosyncrasies and you can avoid crowds any time of the year.

Note: There’s something about being on a trail all day and seeing few to no people…it takes you back to an environment the early explorers may have experienced.

11-second video: At first it seemed the two were being chased by something.

It’s interesting how Nature will come to you when you aren’t trying to chase it.
