If you have clicked your way to this page, you are seeing some very special pictures. As sophomores at Emory University, Dave Schwartz and Dave Levy decided to ditch class and go hiking. Within hours, what had originally started out as a conversation about hiking in north Georgia quickly turned into a trip to Boulder, Colorado. Little did we know how this trip would change the future. Upon reaching Boulder, Dave and Dave were welcomed by Jeff Schwartz - no relation but one of Dave Schwartz' close childhood friends. Jeff and his roommate Cash took Dave and Dave backcountry camping at Herman Gulch and the trip was outstanding. These are the photos from that trip back in 1992. Enjoy a blast from the ProTrails past and be sure to check out Jeff Schwartz' Colorado-based 'Big B's Juices' at www.bigbjuices.com - a ProTrails favorite.
