3.27.2020~5 peak solo, 12 miles, 4,000’ gain, 8:29hrs. Cathedral West, Cathedral HP, Chalcedony, Chalcedony South and Red Barrel Peak. I started out in light rain and was immediately greeted by wild Horses. There was an abundance of wildflowers and grasses. The landscape was enchanting and stunning with jaw dropping views. I saw a lot of bighorn rams, an underwater caterpillar and a Turkey Vulture. Crystal recommended this area to me so I had to check it out. It did not disappoint! I was super slow today because of a groin injury I’ve been dealing with and it was so pretty, I stopped to take a million photos. Wrong shoe choice too. Slow is a good thing in this area as there is so much to see.
