Today Melanie and I woke up early and headed over to the small town of Minturn to hike the Notch Mountain trail(13,237). The main reason why hikers hike this trail is for the up front views of the Mount of the Holy Cross(14,oo5). And there right, the mountain behind Mel and I is the primary mountain peak you see from the back bowls of Vail ski mountain. One of the other cool things at the top of Notch Mountain is the rock cabin that has a nice fire place with in it.
