Delirious with Graham Fever, I took the morning off from work, and drove up onto my favorite sky island for some relief. I had been up to Webb Peak on 3 different trails, now it was time to try the 4th way: the road, which Coronado National Forest's website lists as a loop option for Webb Peak Trail. Sounded good to me. And it was. I enjoyed a fine view of the telescope and the Galiuros on the way up, and a snow cone from a lingering snowdrift (flavored with spruce needles and dirt

Upon reaching the top, I took a few shots from the fire tower, then placed a summit register in some rocks on top of the peak (it seemed strange that Webb Peak wouldn't have a register...). I made a loop by returning on the short (1 mile) segment of the Webb Peak Trail. The "4th way" was a good hike, but I still think the best way is the long segment of the Webb Peak Trail, with it's view of the big aspen grove. It was a morning well spent!
