I got one for ya. It’s kind of a secret. There is a hut I’ve hiked to and stayed at in the winter off of berthoud pass. I don’t recall if they have actual hiking trails. Let me see if I can find it on Google maps.

Found the hut. Called Broome Hut. That’s a sick hike.

Monarch Lake just south of Grand Lake is a beautiful area and an easier hike than the prior two I mentioned above.

Idlewild Distillery on the north end of WP is good, as is Hernando's pizza pub.

Hernado’s is ******* amazing.

I haven’t hiked Mt Flora, but it looks like a good hike based on the description and reviews. Good luck and enjoy - the area is loaded with good hikes.

Did Mt Flora with little JM. His first 13’er. That hike is: Bad. Ass.

Nice view. It’s not the hut I’ve winter camped at tho. That one’s call Peter rabbit. It’s off the trail and a little hard to find. If you talk to any locals on the trail they might know about it.
