Walking up the road

Monte Vista Peak in the distance

Big rock midway up the canyon

Buckskin Peak is up there

At the saddle, hiking up the slopes to the top

I see blue sky

The top is nigh

Monte Vista Peak and its lookout. Got cloudy all of a sudden

Montage: sign at the saddle, top rocks, me with Towelie, and a view from the summit ... of trees

Some tuff cliffs and spires as we exit
