David Munn

Took a small break from extreme adventure to have a career and raise a family, but have returned and the Munnkeys have all become wilderness explorers. More to come...

The USGS marker at the top of Shavano is just a PVC pipe with stickers chained to a rock unless I never found it. The views from the saddle are impressive and mountain goats were seen running across. We also spotted a Marmut as the storms rolled over the saddle and poured down on Salida. This was my first Collegiate Peak and I would like to return to try another.

We had hiked all areas of Big Bend on spring break and we're leaving but decided to press on one more hike in the afternoon. We were treated to a shaded scree run and a dip in the Rio. Well worth the effort and met the singing Jeesus.
