Bergen Peak Trail

Bergen Peak Trail is a 10.3 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Evergreen, Colorado that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. It was not too bad, though. Here is me at the top.

Overall, this is a nice, casual hike near vibrant Evergreen. It took us about 2 hours to get to the top. Here is the beginning of the trail.

Check out the scenery!

Up at the peak now...we made it!

I am not sure what this is.

Somebody left this rock up here. It reads:

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it. - MLK, Jr.

This is a poem by Martin Luther King, Jr. We left it up there so go up there and check it out. Here are more MLK quotes.

Check out Mt. Evans...we will hit that one next!

Now, we descend down the mountain. We went the opposite way to keep it interesting.

The trail is nicely maintained. There are bathrooms at the trail head. The views are pretty good but there are no water features to look at. We saw a lot of mountain bikers and joggers. Overall, the trail is not very challenging. It is quiet but you can hear the road noise for a while.

Male logic joke

*This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males:* A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6." A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."

Earth's wobble causes global warming

EARTH’S WOBBLE CAUSES GLOBAL WARNING, NOT CO2 EMISSIONS OR OCEAN CURRENTS, PER TEAM HEADED BY OSU RESEARCHER Digital Journal, “Debate Ends on Central Cause of Earth’s Cooling & Warming,” 8 Aug 2009; Space Daily, “Ice Ages Linked to Slight Shifts in Solar Radiation,” 24 Aug 2009; The Kiplinger Letter, “Climate Change Legislation, What it Means to Business,” 18 Aug 2009. As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
