ill try to post one tonight when I get home. but as always, after a few hours of rest, all i remember is how incredible it was. really magnificent views from the ridge we took. truly a beautiful area.

I will agree that it was a beautiful hike, great weather and great people, you to Tina. Gazing down the Borrego side, up into the Julian area, and then the Salton Sea area. This side was much more enjoyable, and more scenic than the westerly approach that I did last year. I'm ready to do it again anytime.

Ha, thanks. the guys kept me entertained that is for sure. the views were pretty amazing, never been further than palm desert so it was a whole new experience.

Patrick, if you are looking for colorful read what i wrote in the ledger book on the peak...kind of sums reaching the peak in a nutshell.

That thaw/freeze cycle means the ice will continue to form.
