Six of us
made it to our first rest stop a couple hundred yards up the trail
from the trailhead. The real trail heads to the right from here. An
illegal short-cut is seen going straight up the mountain. We're
still breathing ok at about 8000 feet elevation at the start.
Mid-way up the
mountain, this is a view looking down. Don't take a wrong turn off
the trail. It's a long way down!
Here are five of us at
(essentially) the top. We're actually about a couple tenths of a
mile and a hundred feet elevation from the real top, which is seen
behind us.
The sixth, and most
determined, member of our team can barely be seen in this telephoto
shot of the actual peak.
Don't feed the animals,
however friendly, and don't pick the flowers, however pretty.
