Hillquist Mountain

It is an unnamed peak so we named it - at least in our minds! On this hike we made about every mistake a hiker could make - went off trail and could not find it to come down. We bushwhacked down about 1 1/2 miles and what is estimated to have been close to 40% drop average. Had some very steep - including vertical drops. Unreal! Very stupid we were that day. The line shows our path per the GPS.

Douglas Springs Trail

I nearly stepped on this diamondback rattlesnake. He measured about 5 feet or so. Once we saw him and watched him I, of course, had to get my camera out!
