"3.29.2021~The 1942 Carole Lombard Crash site. This somber trek Included Peaks 7,461’, South Mt. Potosi & Mt. Potosi Highpoint. 11 miles, 4,500’ gain, 5:03hrs. My 2nd time here in 2 days. I wanted to come back alone and drop from the main ridge to find the crash site. I did all 3 peaks again since I was already up there...I Had to trudge down snow, mud & cliffs to get to reach the site.....What a horrible and tragic event. The plane almost made it over the mountain and was just about 400’ from clearing it. What a cold & lonely place for those 22 souls lives to violently end too soon. Her fate was decided by the flip of a coin when she tried to decide whether to take a train for fly. She and her Mother died. At least the were together. It’s been 79 years but I can feel the vibe of death. Rest Peacefully to all who perished. It happened the year my Mother was born. She’s gone too. It was a physically and emotionally taxing day." — paula.raimondi • Mar 29, 2021
"3.27.2021~Peak 7,461’, Potosi Mtn South & Mt. Potosi. 10 miles, 4,000’ gain, 4:17hrs w/Jimmy celebrating our 24 year Anniversary. He expressed that maybe one of theses days we could have a date that doesn’t require extreme cardio exhaustion :@) but that’s no fun! Wild horses greeted us near the trailhead. This is one of my favorite treks and reminds me of the Wild West. There was scant snow on the northern faces and in the shadows. My 4th time on Potosi and 1st time finding the register!

"LVMC hike up to Potosi, which is part of the LVMC 50 list. We hiked the road to Peak 7461, Potosi Mountain South, then finally Potosi! Weather was chilly & windy, but nothing too horrible. We passed Paula & Skip on our way down, as they were coming up." — Kevin • Nov 26, 2016
