We set off expedition style yesterday with a whole crew in tow (Bill, Gretchen, Maggie, Kenny, Nora, and Julia). Three parents – three kids under three – one peak at nearly thirteen thousand feet (Ohio peak – 12,673 feet). Some of the kids got a little tired part way, but I think most had fun.
One of the many, really neat looking, dilapidated mines up in this area.
The troop doing their best impression of the Sound of Music.
Julia getting a snack at the saddle. Wistfully looking out into the mountains.
A rest before the difficult ridge line.
Coming up the talus slope. This range (which includes the Red Mountains) has historically attracted quite a few miners due to these colors.
Looking south over the summit to the San Juan Mountains. In the valley below you can see Silverton.
Just a great day to be out with my super wife and daughter (and no thats not a bear in the background – thats Kenny’s dog Porter who followed us up to the top).
