Dylan and Mariel (or is it Mariel and Dylan...?) met me at around 8 and we drove through a dense fog toward Lucky Peak. As we crested the dam, we were above the much and into glorious sunshine. We were soon at the trailhead and out enjoying it. |

I had a hard time believing that I was seeing pronghorn. If I was 10 miles south, it would have been normal. But we were north of the reservoir. Apparently they crossed at low water. |
 |
It's about a two hour climb. It was great to be out with my girl and hear how life was treating her. Here we are on the summit... that sun is bright! |
 |
Ida, my granddaughter, quickly found a comfortable place to lay down. She was pooped, but she had made her first mountain. I suggested her full name might be "Ida Named Her Summit if Ida Known She Liked to Climb" |
 |
Dylan took pity on Ida and carried her back to the car. |
