Loveland - Devil's Backbone

This is the last journal entry for 2016.  Things have been pretty busy here at home since Halloween and I haven't had the time to get into the mountains but once.  Today, I had some time and decided to take a quick, 'refresher' hike to the Devil's Backbone.  As you know, I've been to the Devil's Backbone many times, so there is only one picture of trail conditions and the usual tracking information.  Sometime in the next few days, I'll journal a summary of my journeys in 2016.  Have a Happy New Year
