Google Earth view of our hike, looking north. We didn't quite get to the top.

Map at the trailhead. Note the elevation profile of the trail at the bottom. 2000' of climbing in 2.5 miles!

At the trailhead. The mountain doesn't look so high. Little did we realize...
|
|
|
|
|
|
The trail is mostly natural steps, or nearly natural steps
|
|
|
|
When we got up a little ways, we could see these strange ruts. They're about 10' or so deep and 20' wide. My guess is that they're old paths that have eroded down.

|
As we climb, we see more and more of the rock formations south of us
|

|
The trail turns to the right here. Can you see it?

You can't see the trail in most places unless you're looking at it straight in front of you
|
|
|
|
|
|
The trail goes straight forward here
|
|
|
We're almost to the top of what we could see from the trailhead
