Canyonlands!

A good morning above Canyonlands.





Lavender Canyon...oh the experiences I've had down there.



Zoomed in.



Big Pocket.





Looking back at where I went yesterday-Cathedral Butte.



You can see the false summit block and the summit. Looks pretty cool from out here.



And off to Steamboat Springs. But first, always stop at Newspaper Rock for a quick view. (click for big)

Porcupine Peak - Klamath Mountains

The hike starts at the further lake--Toad Lake--then crosses the ridge to the closer lake--Porcupine Lake. Two of the more famous California mountains in the distance--Mt. Eddy (left) and Mt. Shasta (right).



Toad Lake.



Porcupine Lake.



The way up.



Summit.



Looking down.



The Trinity Alps Wilderness.







Back down at Porcupine Lake where I did some fishing. Looking up at the Porcupine Peaklet.



California Pitcher Plants. AKA Cobra Lilies. Endemic to these mountains. A carnivorous plant.





Not the best place to park probably.
