My first good look at La Plata Peak. Summit cannot be seen here because of clouds.
Looking south farther into the gulch I hiked in today.
A look back down into the gulch that I hiked into and then up and out of.
A section of the northwest ridge I hiked on to access the summit.
Neighboring unamed peak to the west.
Ellingwood ridge. This is the northeast ridge of La Plata. I hiked on the northwest ridge.
Looking back at a large section of my route.
Approaching the summit.
On summit, socked in with clouds looking to the east.
