Holy Cross is an awesome area. Congrats on making the trip. A friend brought up an old Vail area story today and we were trying to remember the details. About 20 years ago, there was a party out on the hut trail out of Vail that got lost in a storm. Due to an argument over direction, a woman got left behind, though she was later found and got out OK. Her last name became a verb, used locally to refer to being abandoned. In other words, if her name was Smith, people would say, "Yeah, I went out with Johnny and got Smithed." Does any of this ring a bell? Spectacular pics! Holy Cross is an awesome area. Congrats on making the trip.
