On July 23, our final day, we began with the steep climb over the pass, followed by a descent and a long level hike through exquisite country above tree line. The variety of flowers continued to our final short climb over the last small pass, where we stopped on a knoll overlooking the North Fork Chalk Creek Valley. We descended to the valley bottom and left the Colorado Trail to walk down Tin Cup Pass Road to Saint Elmo, where we had a car waiting for us. There was a great deal of ATV and four-wheel drive traffic on the road.
