Cherry Hill from the Carbondale Road. Go left - trust me! Center or right is BAD.Tiny wildflowers on route.An obvious trail in places.Less obvious trail in other places.Lanceleaf Springbeauty.Lanceleaf Springbeauty.Glacier Lily.Glacier Lily.The trails in the area have a habit of disappearing underfoot.Storm clouds over Syncline and a bird's nest.Some kind of wild onion.Hiking up a steep goat path through the cliffs.Topping out of the cliff and realizing I'm probably screwed as I'm nowhere near the summit yet.Lots of Glacier Lilies.Oh F__K! Uncool views from the cliff top to the summit.To be honest, I moved through here pretty quickly. The trick was walking on top of the matchsticks.To be honest this really sucked. I wasn't the happiest hiker in the world at this point.Free! The deadfall abruptly ends right at the summit.Another survey marker - I ran into a lot of these lately.Despite the topo maps showing this as a lower summit, it clearly is the highest. I'm counting it.
