The high road that leads to the hill that leads to the high ridge

The peak off in the distance

A white-tail deer ambled into my area. He did not seem afraid of me

Images of the peak as I made my way along the ridge

The peak at the final saddle. No more false summits

At the summit, Kunde Mountain to the south, Red Mountain to the right in back

Summit area

Peak 5224 in back, Hughes Mountain Ridge in farther back

A happy cloud

Shots of the ridge as I exit. Seemed all the cliffs faced south for some reason

Mount Wrightson got some snow last night

Departing shot: the yellow ridge in the center is what I ascended, the peak is to the farther right
