Near the top of Boreas Mountain today, above Boreas Pass near the Summit County line. Also near the top were American Pipits pecking frozen bugs on a snowfield. Back near the trailhead were Mountain Bluebirds, a Cassin’s Finch, and White-crowned Sparrows. Boreas Mountain, 13,082 feet, is between Breckenridge and Como. There is no trail to the summit of Boreas Mountain, so Barb and I followed internet advice and just hiked straight up, much of it talus field, which at times was like going up a down escalator. But the views were great and wildflowers seem to be at their peak.
