Looking south from the summit, Sangre De Cristo Range.
Very unique "ramp" entrance to the top of one of the rock faces. Finding it can be difficult.

Trail's end at "main" lake. Facing up valley towards Crestones & Bench Lake.
Very unique "ramp" entrance to the top of one of the rock faces. Finding it can be difficult.
An example of one of many rock faces that you'll have to navigate to the top of. The ill-maintained trail means route-finding!
Slightly technical portion with slippery spring. Many times in this hike, you'll encounter difficult trail finding spots to attain ridges of rock faces.
Looking down valley in one of two large meadows.
A daring hiker sits on the NE edge of the summit. This part of the summit need not be climbed and is easily avoidable for those afraid of heights.
A stunning view of Crestone Needle (left) and Crestone Peak (right), with morning alpenglow above the shadow of Humboldt Peak.
Looking south from the summit, Sangre De Cristo Range.
