We parked at the Railroad Tunnel trailhead and followed the trail to the base of Uranus. We ascended the west ridge to the summit, where there were some weird things spelled out with the talus. From there, we continued along to the saddle and ascended the west ridge of Pluto. After a short break, we went back to the saddle, then descended north back to the trail. We hiked up the trail a bit to see the tunnels, since Amber and Matt had never been there, then turned around and hiked out. This was a perfect 'easy' Sunday hike!
