Hidden Track

On June the 29th, I went for a hike in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness near Buena Vista. I hiked up Avalanche Gulch on the Colorado Trail. I wandered up to a pass on the ridge line for Mt. Yale. The pass was at tree line. The ridge is an alternative route for climbing Mt. Yale. I went up Mt. Yale a different way a few years ago. The way I went looks a lot easier. That doesn’t matter; I was not hiking up Mt. Yale this time. I was climbing an unnamed peak on the ridge in opposite direction of Mt. Yale. The unnamed peak has an elevation of 12,505 ft. The view was wonderful. Here are the pictures.
