Humans of Crested Butte – Huck
โThere was this race, the Vapor trail, over in Salida. You go from Salida and you go to the top of the Continental Divide a few times, not just once, itโs like 125 miles, its crazy. One of the highest points in that race is at the top of the Canyon Creek Trail and its the middle of the night, pitch black, your bike is on your back and youโre hiking 45 minutes up hill and at the top you can look over and see all the little headlamps over Tomichi Pass. . .and then looking off to the East you can see lighting flashes.โ
โThere arenโt too many times where youโre on top of a mountain at 4 oโclock in the morning, it was just a super unique experience. That was pretty cool. I was in complete awe, like what are you doing here? But this is so cool and when is the next time that youโre really gonna do this? Those are really fun experiences to have. Truth be told, I donโt think Iโve ever, after that, been on a mountain and seen lighting that far off in the distance where its lighting up the sky.โ
โThe pro challenge was always this kind of catalyst where if you didnโt work together you werenโt going to pull this thing off. So that was a big desire for me, and I was like โI want to make a positive contribution to my community and I think this is how I can do it.โย To me, how in the world are you supposed to succeed if youโre not working together?โ
