Lake San Cristobal
Looking north from camp
Lounging at camp
More views from camp as the sun was going down
Ditto
Kevin and Karen at our “tent”
I've got the coolest gloves, hands down
Headed up the Grizzly Gulch trail
The morning clouds made for a spectacular sunrise
The camera does not do the colors justice
Early morning rays on Handies
More alpenglow (photo by Jeremy)
Grizzly Gulch was a great choice for the ascent
Flat out amazing

Handies off to the right
I couldn't get enough of this view
Kevin, Jeremy, and Karen with Whitecross Mtn in the background
The last hundred feet up to a false summit
Karen and I taking the last bit together (Photo by Kevin)
On top of #50! (photo by Kevin)
Woohoo!
That's not Korbel
Thanks for lugging that bottle to summit Jeremy!
Looking west from the summit over American Peak and Sloan Lake
A close up of the Grenadiers and the Needles
The Wilson group is way in the back left of center
Coxcomb, Wetterhorn, and Uncompahgre off in the distance to the north
Looking east toward Redcloud and Sunshine with Grizzly Gulch below
Looking south
American Peak and Sloan Lake on the descent
Looking back toward Handies
Sloan Lake
We heard quite a bit of natural rockfall coming from somewhere up there
Karen on the descent through American Basin
What an awesome spot!
The wildflowers were intense
I need this in my backyard
No idea what they are, but they were cool looking
We linked back up with Kevin and Jeremy on their way down from Whitecross
Tommy Bahama, Jim, Karen, and Jeremy
Our tracks from today's loop
