Mount Bierstadt 14,060'

On top! Cloudy!
Peak on the right - sawtooth to the left Better view... peak on right... sawtooth on left

Trail up to the peak

Shawn likes to take pictures of the sawtooth!

More trail and peak almost in clouds...

Here's what we did today. Weather wasn't perfect, otherwise we would have done another one including the jagged ridge you see in the above pictures which is to the left of the peak... known as the "Sawtooth". Happy 4th!!!

My nephew is going to be strong!!!










Maybe he can convince my bro to start working out...

This is of Bear and South Boulder Peak that I mentioned previously.


South Boulder Peak, Bear Peak and Green Mountain











This is actually from the week before last. We hit 3 local peaks in one day. About 13 miles.... it was a long day, but very nice. The first peak is of South Boulder Peak from Bear Peak. Then, the one of Shawn is at the top of Green Mountain - and the 2 peaks together is of Bear Peak and South Boulder Peak is the same pic! Then, some cool wildlife!!

Views from Top of Quandary











More pics from Quandary

We found some mountain goats on this trip. They seemed harmless, but they were definitely stalking us... I think they wanted food!! We also saw lots of hikers with skies and snowboard... many folks like to hike up and ski down...








Above is Shawn on the ridge, just before we got to the top.
