This was a fantastic day! We started up from Blue Point Spring and followed the ridge up to Blue Point. From there, we traversed all the way to Bighorn Peak. The views were tremendous all the way across the ridge. The hike was a little tougher than we were ready for, but we made it.The only thing that sucked was the icy morning wind.
