After warming up the weekend before on Grays Peak, we were ready to tackle Huron Peak, tucked
seclusively back in the middle of the Sawatch Range. From the summit, the views of the surrounding
mountains were spectacular!
Every Saturday night in Dillon, there"s a free concert in the summer. After the concert, they have fireworks. Thankfully from our condo, we"ve got a great view!
