"Cupid" and Grizzly Peak D

December 16, 2023

Grizzly Peak 13,435'

Cupid 13,126'

Wind!

Low snow on Loveland pass gave us the opportunity to head over and hike Cupid and Grizzly Peak D. We parked at the summit of Loveland pass and battled winds that would almost knock us down. The hike was straight forward and took us just 2 hours to summit Grizzly Peak D. On our way back, we hiked about halfway over to Sniktau before turning back as the wind was just too strong to continue. We opted to head over to Keystone to ski for a few hours and enjoyed the time at the resort with less wind, trying out our new skis!
