I woke up about 0500 hrs ready to go. Although the time zone is MST, my internal clock is still on EST. I decided to go on a hike to the top of some rocks that were on a nearby ridge.[singlepic id=31 w=320 h=240 float=right]After climbing a few hundred feet, I had to stop to take a picture of the boulder field I was going to have to climb in order to get to the top.[singlepic id=29 w=320 h=240 float=left]On the other side of the boulder field was a clearing (too small to be considered a meadow) that would have made an excellent camping spot. I stopped to take a picture of the view through the trees.[singlepic id=25 w=320 h=240 float=right]The view from the top was worth the hike. I could see forever and got there in time to catch the morning sun coming over the eastern ridge.[singlepic id=27 w=320 h=240 float=left] Our camp was at 8,140 feet and the top of the rocks was 8,630 feet.[singlepic id=26 w=320 h=240 float=right]
