Summit Voice readers share a few pictures
Kim Fenske reports that the road to the Missouri Creek trailhead has been repaired by the Forest Service after a washout and sent us a few images from the Missouri Lakes Basin.
SUMMIT COUNTY — The high country is melting out, but there’s still plenty of snow and ice up high, according to Kim Fenske, who recently hiked into the Missouri Lakes Basin. Today’s photo essay features some reader shots, and we’d love to see more, so if you have images you’d like to share on Summit Voice, email them to bberwyn@comcast.net.
Kim Fenske is a former wilderness ranger, firefighter who has hiked thousands of miles in the Colorado mountains. He has served on the board of directors of Friends of the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area.
Fenske has authored several hiking books filled with hundreds of photographs of Colorado wildlife, wildflowers, and scenery. His books are enjoyed by thousands of outdoor enthusiasts. His current electronic book titles are published on Amazon for Kindle, as well as Barnes and Noble for Nook. Search for these titles: “Greatest Hikes in Central Colorado,” “Holy Cross Wilderness Area,” and “Eagles Nest Wilderness Area.”

Stan Wagon sent this picture of this fungus, a false morel that has fooled more than a few people. The Gyromitra esculenta is often called the brain mushroom, and is potentially a fatal choice, especially eaten raw, according to Mykoweb.com.
Shasta daisies growing along Meadow Creek don't seem any worse for the wear after a four-hour rainstorm pounded the area.
