JR and Michele on the trail with our first glimpse of Quandry's summit in the distance.
North Star Mountain.
JR and Michele take a beef jerky break before the summit push.
Netanya with Quandry's summit in the background.
JR took a big lead (way ahead in red jacket) while Michele watches her step up the rocky trail.
Netanya and myself take a second for a quick picture.
Netanya took some encouraging along the way, and was glad when she made it to the top!

A look down into the gulch near where we started.
Wait up JR! JR flew up Quandry's steep east ridge.
Netanya navigates through a section of last weeks snow.
Looking south from the summit.
Great job on your first 14er Netanya!

Quandrys long east ridge.
Thunderstorm developing to the northeast of us.
Netanya climbed her first 14ER today!!!
Taking a break with a big chunk of the East Ridge behind us now.
We were at the top today.
JR and I make our way back down towards treeline.
It was good to be back below treeline.....because the car wasn't too far off now.
The Aspens were great today.
We spotted this great Mountain Goat at the base of Quandry as we drove to the Blue Lakes.
Curious?
2 more Mountain Goats about a 100 yards from the car.
Beautiful Lower Blue Lake.
Even though it was 50 degrees outside, it started to snow on us while we checked out this Geocache.
Lower Blue Lake.
Upper Blue Lake with Wheeler Mountain in the distance.
A look back at Quandry Peak.
