Write Up:
I would like to thank everyone for making this event a success. It was a fantastic day and what a
great way to celebrate Leonards 100th event. Heading up the trail we quickly encountered mosquitos
and at times it looked like we were all dancing to the song Kung Fu Fighting. The hike itself was
fairly easy but at time tedious with the gradual climb to Tower Lake. Breaking through the tree
line, Castle Mountain and Eisenhower Peak provide spectacular views. The aggressive climb just after
the lake made it worthwhile once we reached the top to see the crystal clear waters of Rockbound
Lake. With Castel Mountain and Helena Ridge surrounding the lake, it is an area that I would like
to explore more and can’t wait to return. Heading back, the conversation was colorful and provided
entertainment for our gradual decent. Nearing the trailhead we took a short detour to Silverton
Falls. Finally, returning to the cars and a quick tire change we returned home to plan for another
day. See you all again soon and thanks to everyone for making this day possible.
