Trail Mix
Second Apron, Mount Evans
High on the flanks of Mount Evans, rising above Summit Lake to meet the west ridge at more than 14,000 feet, there are several impressive rock slabs known as the Aprons. These rock faces offer 500 to 600 vertical feet of mostly moderate, technical climbing. 

 
Gearing Up
Clear choice:
The designers at Lug make sturdy little collapsible coolers, vinyl totes and other storage bags in bright colors with quilted fabric accents and fun shapes. They're sized to be mixed and matched for picnics and other outings. My favorites are the Clearview transparent totes.
