Spring Snow on Dude Peak - April 27, 2021 |
| I love spring snowstorms, almost non-existent in 2021. |
 |
My snowman is much better than the huge rock towers built repeatedly on this site. Today’s tear-down was the fifth this spring. Demolition takes a fraction of the time and effort as construction, the physics are on my side.

Pyramid Peak (aka Cave Peak) - May 3, 2021 |
| Pyramid Peak comes alive in this dry spring. Longleaf Phlox (purple) and Arrowleaf Balsamroot (yellow). |
 |
| Pyramid Peak Peak as seen from the approach trail (SW ridge to the pipe ROW), the Outlaw Trail, which is accessed from North Canyon, around the locked gate, across 200 yards of private property, then up the SW ridge. I haven’t been arrested yet. |
 |
| Arrowleaf Balsamroot. |
 |
| Detail of Pyramid's cliffy face. I read somewhere that this face slid off about 400 years ago, possibly due to a wetter climate. I hope it’s now stable, there is a 36-inch-diameter, high-pressure natural gas pipeline built over/through the peak. |
Dude Peak - May 4, 2021
