    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks001.jpg Hiking from the trailhead since 1:45 a.m., it was several hours and several miles before we saw this, the first light of the new day! This photo is taken near Pear Lake, 6+ miles from Allenspark Trailhead. image by hikemaster

  • Lower Hutc...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks004.jpg Lower Hutchenson Lake is the 3rd lake we passed on this "lake marathon" hike, but the first we could see! What a gorgeous spot to enjoy daybreak, 8 miles from the nearest road. image by hikemaster

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks009.jpg An incredible feeling of peace and calm high in Wild Basin on this wonderful Sunday. What a great 21-mile hike this was, the first 8 of which was accomplished in total darkness. image by hikemaster

  • Early ligh...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks012.jpg Early light on the Elk's Tooth. Elk's Tooth (12,700 ft) is joined to Ogallala Peak (out of view to the back right) via a very difficult knife-edge ridge. We aren't going up that way! image by hikemaster

  • Copeland M...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks015.jpg Copeland Mountain (RMNP's 16th highest summit) is as rounded as any! This huge peak was climbed by Hikemasters Scott and Billy on June 14 and will become one of 2008's best hikes---it was so snowy back then! image by hikemaster

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks017.jpg Meadow (center) and St. Vrain (right) mountains rise to the southeast, with Lower Hutchenson Lake shining below. image by hikemaster

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks023.jpg One of the summer's best sunrises! image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks026.jpg Hikemaster Billy and Hikemaster Scott (not pictured) have been waiting for this incredible loop hike all summer --- today was the day, and it did not disappoint! image by hikemaster

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks027.jpg The filtered sunshine makes its way through clouds in the distance. image by hikemaster

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks031.jpg Middle Hutchenson Lake lies in a rock basin near treeline. The ridgeline seen here leads up to Elk's Tooth. image by hikemaster

  • Elk's Toot...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks033.jpg Elk's Tooth (left) bathes in sunlight, while we enjoy our first glimpses of Ogallala Peak further back. The true summit is just barely visible here, leftmost bump down from Elk's Tooth. image by hikemaster

  • What an in...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks034.jpg What an incredible privilege to be able to take in scenes like this, 9 miles from trailhead. The beauty is amazing from this spot above Upper Hutchenson Lake. Ogallala Peak (the 18th ranked summit in RMNP) now rises majestically in the sunlight. image by hikemaster

  • Cony Pass ...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks038.jpg Cony Pass (12,380 ft), our way to Ogallala's summit, is the v-shaped gully you see on the horizon here. Upper Hutchenson Lake appears below, and Cony Lake is still ahead out of view scoured in the rock below the pass. image by hikemaster

  • Don't let ...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks040.jpg Don't let anyone tell you that the scenery at the southernmost tip of RMNP isn't spectacular---it absolutely is, as you can see here! It's still a long way to Cony Pass. Plenty of snow up here! image by hikemaster

  • Looking ba...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks041.jpg Looking back down the valley we've climbed in this southeast-ward view. What a great morning to be up here, so far from civilization. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks044.jpg Hikemaster Scott stops for a photo above Upper Hutchenson Lake. Breaks like this were much needed with steep climbing ahead from this point. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks045.jpg Hikemaster Scott loved Ogallala Peak. It looked glorious from the summit of Copeland Mountain back on June 14, and what an impressive mountain it was again this day! image by hikemaster

  • We've got ...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks047.jpg We've got over 1,000 feet to get to the top, but the ridgeline you see here represents the Continental Divide. At RMNP's southern border, it is home to Ogallala Peak (left). Any guess where Cony Lake (6th lake of this hike so far) is? image by hikemaster

  • Cony Lake ...

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks048.jpg Cony Lake is the green-est lake Hikemaster Scott has seen all summer. Not a stitch of wind greeted us here. This lake is one of RMNP's most remote. image by hikemaster

    Ouzel-OgallalaPeaks051.jpg Hikemaster Scott takes a picture at Cony Lake, with St. Vrain Mountain in the backdrop. image by hikemaster
