| no partners | | The conditions looked promising, so I headed out in the dark to catch the sunrise from the ridge below Peak 2881. I arrived about 5am and parked along Hwy 88 and started up. The old road makes for an easy trail to follow.
Once I made it up to the ridgeline and started towards the peak, I could see a clear trail in place. This little hike, and the loop you can make from it, has become less of a bushwhack that it was in the past.
The clouds looked promising, but I wasn't seeing any color-show developing. I moved along the higher points to get a view of Canyon Lake and set up to wait for the sunrise. There was some color after all, but it didn't last long.
Waiting for the sun to appear, it looks like the hazy skies muted it a little. I was still able to get some nice sunstars. As soon as the sun popped over the horizon, the clouds came in and blocked it out. I explored a little more towards the peak, but I had to finish up and get to work.
This cool area is always a treat to visit. Once the heat subsides, I will probably hit the loop towards the Horns of Dilemma and explore this very interesting area of the Goldfields.
A good way to start a day for sure. The calmness of the sunrise, not much noise except the bees that always seem to find. The coolness of the air and the glorious show Mother Nature puts on every morning. |
