That is a real “Wow!” picture. Standing where you must have been standing to take it would take a person’s breath away.

That trail is only three miles long but it climbs 3400 feet in those three miles. Each second of the hike and every foot of the trail is precious!

What a workout! But worth it when you have a view like this at the end of it.

The views are wonderful every step from the trail head, and the good news is that it looks like that little 37,000 acre roadless area will probably be protected for its beauty and trail system!

I’m glad you have a collection large enough to be posting these photographs before getting that knee fixed.

Thanks Malcolm. It has been enjoyable looking through some of the photo collection, and surprising how many details I remember from each trip. This is one of 131 photos from that trip.
I saw some MRI images today and there will be some titanium in my near future, as soon as I can schedule it!

Stunning landscape! It’s good to see the mountains in their summer glory, especially with the wind & rain howling outside!

What a spectacular view – great shot, Terry.
I like the close-up of the rock formation in the foreground – makes a good focal point to draw the eye in.

That’s a beautiful view-well worth the climb. “Cube Iron” is an interesting name. I wonder if it was chosen to warn potential prospectors that what they were seeing was iron pyrite and not gold.

I have never figured out where that name came from or exactly what it means. I have not seen iron pyrite in that area, but there are many signs of iron deposits, nothing spectacular that I’m aware of. I do know that the mountain was named in the early 1900’s.

If everything goes well, I plan to visit there again in the summer as part of a long hike from one end of that roadless area to the other. I’d also love to visit there right now: there is probably over 5 feet of snow on that part of the trail right now.

I’ve not heard of cube iron – an interesting name. I did some searching and ended up looking at pyrite jewelry and polished blocks of the stuff on ebay – pretty! Not as pretty as this view, though. It’s just 32 here now. That sunshine, combined with the view and the flowers, is very appealing.

I’ve seen the name used in relation to iron deposits, but haven’t been able to pin it down to anything specific. Somewhere in our archives, there is a small rock that I brought back from there and I recall that it did show iron color.

Spectacular view! No more WordPress snow 😦 Titanium? Does that mean you are having a replacement instead of arthroscopic surgery?

Yes, a replacement as soon as it can be arranged. I saw the MRI images yesterday and the only question became “how soon can it be replaced”. Good timing, though!
