    NimbusStratusCumulus002.jpg To climb Nimbus, we simply hike up Opposition Creek (seen here) from the Grand Ditch up to its headwaters. This eastward view reveals morning sun on peaks east of the Never Summer Mountains. image by hikemaster

    NimbusStratusCumulus004.jpg Near treeline at the headwaters of Opposition Creek. The high peak in the distance is a "bump" on Mount Nimbus, but not the true summit. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    NimbusStratusCumulus008.jpg Hikemaster Scott poses near treeline in front of the ridge leading to Mount Cumulus. Cumulus would be the 3rd (and highest) of the 3 peaks we visited this gorgeous summer day in the Never Summers. image by hikemaster

    NimbusStratusCumulus009.jpg Opposition Creek glistens in the foreground as it heads downstream towards the Grand Ditch to the east. image by hikemaster

  • The summit...

    NimbusStratusCumulus014.jpg The summit of 12,705 ft. Mount Nimbus now appears at the left. This scene looks pretty barren....definitely tundra territory! image by hikemaster

    NimbusStratusCumulus017.jpg Hikemaster Scott poses in front of the saddle between Mount Nimbus (out of view to the left) and Mount Cumulus (out of view to the right). image by hikemaster

  • An un-name...

    NimbusStratusCumulus019.jpg An un-named pond at the headwaters of Opposition Creek reflects steep slopes off Mount Cumulus. image by hikemaster

    NimbusStratusCumulus021.jpg Rosy Paintbrush thrives in the tundra below the high peaks of the Never Summer Mountains. image by hikemaster

    NimbusStratusCumulus022.jpg Hikemaster Tony climbs rocky terrain towards the saddle. image by hikemaster

  • Looking ba...

    NimbusStratusCumulus023.jpg Looking back to the east gives one a true sense of the Rocky Mountain High available in this area....what a blessing. Can you see Longs Peak? image by hikemaster

  • Mount Cumu...

    NimbusStratusCumulus024.jpg Mount Cumulus looks absolutely enormous from the saddle. We will wait to climb this peak last, after bagging Nimbus and Stratus first. image by hikemaster

  • A look dow...

    NimbusStratusCumulus029.jpg A look down the valley we've hiked up since the wee hours of morning (4:10 a.m. start, to be exact!). Red Mountain extends in the right foreground. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    NimbusStratusCumulus030.jpg Hikemaster Scott poses at the saddle in front of some knobs poking up along the Mount Nimbus ridge that will next be climbed. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    NimbusStratusCumulus031.jpg Hikemaster Scott loved the Nimbus-Stratus-Cumulus "cloud" hike! No clouds yet...but just wait :-) Here, Scott stops in front of 12,725 ft. Mount Cumulus. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    NimbusStratusCumulus034.jpg Hikemaster Scott with backdrop to the west of RMNP. Parika Peak retains snow in late July. This is incredibly pretty country. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    NimbusStratusCumulus036.jpg Hikemaster Tony climbs towards the Nimbus summit from the saddle, with Cumulus in the backdrop. image by hikemaster

  • It's a roc...

    NimbusStratusCumulus037.jpg It's a rocky trip to the summit of Mount Nimbus from here, but quite straightforward. One simply heads up the ridge until there's no more "up" to do! image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    NimbusStratusCumulus039.jpg Hikemaster Scott, at one of the knobs along the ridgeline heading up to the Nimbus summit. He will be leading a YMCA hike to this peak on August 4 and wanted to check it out in advance on this gorgeous day in July. image by hikemaster

  • Remote and...

    NimbusStratusCumulus042.jpg Remote and rugged wilderness extends indefinitely in the distance to the west of the Never Summer Mountains. This is wild country, folks, and worthy of our protection and preservation. image by hikemaster

  • View to th...

    NimbusStratusCumulus044.jpg View to the southwest from near the summit of Mount Nimbus. Do you see the layer of fog clouds in the distance to the left? Grand Lake is socked in at this moment! image by hikemaster
