Greenhorn Mountain

Hiked Greenhorn in Colorado’s Wet Mountain Valley for the second time in late June 2014, at age 71. Went first to North Peak, over to Greenhorn and descended to old road circling back to trailhead on Greenhorn Mountain Road. Worsening knee issues, most likely last climb (2014-06-28).
