Self portrait at 10,000ft
Moonrise in the twilight zone
Looking back towards Alamosa
A rock and its trail... (hey, it looked cool when I took the picture!)
Signs of travelers at 12,000' (zoom in for the detail)
Blanca is barely visible in the right background
Ellingwood point is the peak to the left, just peeking out

Further down, a look back at Ellingwood Point
View from where I had slept the night before, about 11,000'
A look at where I am headed... my truck is parked about dead center of the image
