took a nice ride/hike the other day:
always takes me forever to pack the truck, so I need a coffee:
L1019166 by unoh7, 28cron f/2 uncorrected
over the pass to the Sawtooth Valley:
L1019173 by unoh7, 28 cron
Old store, for years run by old lady who specialized selling sex toys 
L1019177 by unoh7, 28 cron.
I think this was the stage stop:
L1019181 by unoh7, 28 cron
The Plan: park near valley mouth, ride motorbike to lake, hike to ridge
L1019315-2 by unoh7, 28 cron
made it this far:
L1019187 by unoh7, 28 cron--maybe
destination, though I was not sure at the time, is the peak in the center.
took the main trail up to the left, and past this tarn, to get on the ridge above.
L1019193 by unoh7, 28 cron
Hiking the ridgeline:
L1019208 by unoh7, zm 18 uncorrected.
good views destination is peak on the right, attached to ridge.
L1019209 by unoh7, ZM18
peeking over the north side:
L1019222 by unoh7, zm18
the "monster" appears:
L1019359 by unoh7, CV 90
Tucked underneath:
L1019266 by unoh7, 135/3.4 @ 4.8 2000, handheld. Maybe my fav shot of the hike
Final approach:
L1019234 by unoh7, zm18
If I was 20, this would be easy
L1019236 by unoh7, zm18
The summit, and what I came to see: Castle Peak and Chamberlain Basin.
L1019304 by unoh7, zm18
It's the single biggest landmark in the state, though at 11.8 it's not the highest. Over the years many mishaps on this peak.
The basin:
L1019282 by unoh7, 135/3.4 @ f/9.5 Telyt earning it's keep
Lower Permian Mud and Siltstone make for......
L1019281 by unoh7, 50 cron
Careful, you can cut yourself just looking at it 
Tons of goats around but I never saw one 
L1019248 by unoh7, 135/3.4
the way back:
L1019290 by unoh7, 50 cron f/11
Tripping the light fantastic in the huge circ to the north:
 L1019384 by unoh7, zm18
took a direct route back to 4th of July Lake--where the bike is parked.
L1019399 by unoh7, zm18
The lake as I left it
L1019414 by unoh7, zm18 f/5.7
Within a 60 mile radius of my viewpoint: the most varied geology on the planet. Each range, another story Everything from 1.5 billion year old metamorphic continental remnants, to 3000 year old Basalt flows.
