"Pinaleno Ridgeline" exploration hike part 1
While exploring the ridge that runs between 10,020 foot Heliograph Peak and Ladybug Saddle on a blistering hot, gnat infested Independence Day, I came across a route leading up to the rugged summit of Twilight Peak. I decided I'd better check it out.
It was super hot, even at 9300 feet. It was 90 degrees in the shade of a 3 foot tall aspen growing out of the rock, where I had my lunch. Sweet views from the top, at least as good as nearby Ladybug Peak.
I felt the need to start a summit register. It's inside a very small plastic bottle, which is inside a ziplock bag, and stuck between some rocks on the summit of the 9320 foot peak.
Coming down was way easier than expected, after coming across an abandoned trail to follow.
The Pinaleno Ridgeline exploration was slow going and brutal, but it was a good day! |
