On this week's episode, Bob chats with Dean Waits, from the Pikes Peak Group of the Colorado Mountain Club. They talk about the history of the Barr Trail, the most popular hiking route to the summit of Pikes Peak, and Fred Barr, who the trail is named after. They also discuss Barr Camp, about half-way up the trail, and also the A-Frame shelter, on the trail and CMC's work to maintain it.
