Was planning on a winter conference in Denver in January, we were going to Breckenridge but Covid 19 has ruined that (3rd vacation dicked because of this virus now)

so its been tentatively postponed to July 2021 which changes from Skiing to Hiking.

I know its early but I usually try to book a cabin or whatever 12 months in advance. I"d like to go hiking - something in the mountains but a little out of the way. I know Rocky Mountain National Park is right next door, but I would prefer to get away from the crowds.

I was thinking Wyoming or going further west of Denver - nothing more than 3 hours away. ideally I'd like to hit two 7-12 mile hikes with 8-13K elevation. Wind River? Snow Mountains? I'm not familiar with any of this area.

have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
