At the trailhead, we could barely see each other. This presented a number of problems because who would carry the breakfast. Should we become separated, one of us would be without brunch. That is indeed a serious issue when traveling with the editor. Unfortunately, we took a different trail from that which we sought and ended up hiking nearly 9 miles without reaching our intended destination. However, patience has its rewards and we were fortunate to catch glimpses of wonderful scenes. Three days later, we reached Black Mountain peak (after returning to the trail rather than wondering for 3 days) and enjoyed both an exciting hike and wonderful views.
Barrel of cactus laughs if one landed in these 'guys'.
Curtain rose and quickly fell for most of the hiking period.
Getting close to the desert 'floor', another spectacular place and hike. Note heavy lava residue...not that
the editor erupted or anything of that nature.
We enjoy Las Vegas from a distance, especially at height.
Toward the close of the hike, we had this view.
Stage manager shows us a little of what's behind the curtain.
Heavy conditions (and ignorance) prevented us finding the trail to the top.
Cactus Jack and 'Bugsy Siegel'.
Another brief opening allowing us to view snow dusted peaks. Moments before and after, visibility
was extremely limited.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
