Al and Barb hiking back to Capitol Lake in Colorado's Snowmass Wilderness

We had made the summit of Capitol Peak, just a few hours earlier, and were headed back to our campsites at the lake in this video. Our elevation, at the time of this recording, was about 3,700 metres (just over 12,000 feet).

Capitol Lake that were the group from Aspen Camp went on a backpacking trip for 6 days. I almost go there with my group back in 1998 but I had to go back to Aspen Camp due to ankle injury, I only went on a 3 days backpacking trip.

I hope you get a chance to return to Capitol Lake someday. I hope I get to return someday as well!

@zeekzilch It would be nice. It will bring you the memories.
