5:45a Boulder Sports Recycler carpool

6:30a Brainard Winter Lot for shuttle to Brainard Lake trailhead.

Crater Lake (the one by Lone Eagle) is typically accessed from the Monarch Lake/Granby side.  Skip the drive and take a more interesting route in over Pawnee Pass.  After setting up camp Day 1 we can hike to Cascade Falls or just enjoy the space.

Day 2 option - drop packs atop Pawnee Pass and tag Shoshoni/Pawnee/Toll.
