  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain002.jpg Hikemasters Matthew (pictured here) and Scott are exceptionally fast hikers. Only a few minutes earlier, they began hiking from the parking area seen below. image by hikemaster

  • Where clou...

    MacGregorMountain005.jpg Where clouds and peaks meet, we find four of RMNP's best known summits (left to right): Taylor, Otis, Hallett's, and Flattop. image by hikemaster

  • What do yo...

    MacGregorMountain007.jpg What do you know---it started to rain! Hikemaster Scott looks like a "bug" in his trash bag protection :-) He prefers trash bags to ponchos, because they're less suffocating. Luckily, the rain only sprinkled for a short while. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain008.jpg Hikemaster Matthew pauses for a photo on the steep bushwhacking climb up MacGregor Mountain. The valley below (where the hike began) is over 2000 feet below! image by hikemaster

  • Beautiful ...

    MacGregorMountain013.jpg Beautiful cloud formations are observed from the summit of MacGregor Mountain in mid-afternoon in this southward view towards the Front Range of RMNP. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain014.jpg Hikemaster Scott could almost touch the clouds from atop MacGregor Mountain (10,486 ft). Hallett's Peak and Flattop Mountain are recognizable at the left edge of the photo. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain016.jpg Hikemaster Scott soars atop MacGregor, with the Mummy Range behind. Fairchild Mtn (left center) is RMNP's 6th highest peak, while Ypsilon Mtn (left) ranks 5th. Hague and Mummy, to the right, rank 4th and 8th, respectively. The Mummies are HIGH! image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain017.jpg Hikemasters Scott and Matthew cross yet another peak, albeit the "short" MacGregor Mountain (10,486 ft), off their "to-do" list! It was a great, short, steep hike! image by hikemaster

  • Southward ...

    MacGregorMountain018.jpg Southward from MacGregor Mountain's summit, the heart of RMNP is revealed in all its splendor! You can hike for days and days and days and never run out of destinations back there! What an incredible place! Fall River meanders at the right. image by hikemaster

  • The Mummy ...

    MacGregorMountain019.jpg The Mummy Range, from MacGregor's summit. Four of the park's 10 tallest peaks appear here. In order, from right to left: Mummy, Hague, Fairchild, and Ypsilon. The saddle between Hague and Fairchild is quite discernable in this image. image by hikemaster

  • Looking so...

    MacGregorMountain021.jpg Looking southeast from the MacGregor Mountain summit, we find Twin Sisters (left) and Estes Cone (right). image by hikemaster

  • Just north...

    MacGregorMountain022.jpg Just north of MacGregor Mountain is Dark Mountain, hiked by both Hikemasters Scott and Matthew early in the 2008 summer hiking season. Dark is about 500 feet higher than MacGregor. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain026.jpg Hikemaster Matthew loves the MacGregor Mountain summit. The Mummy Range shines in the backdrop, with snowcapped peaks (left to right): Chiquita, Ypsilon, Fairchild, Hague, and Mummy. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain027.jpg Hikemaster Scott marvels at God's creation high in the Colorado Rockies. It feels good to be "home" again! image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain029.jpg Hikemaster Matthew atop MacGregor Mountain. The high peaks of the Front Range glow in the distance beneath the cloud ceiling. Left to right: McHenry's Pk, Powell Pk, Taylor Pk, Otis Pk, Hallett's Pk, Flattop Mtn, Notchtop Mtn, Knobtop Mtn. image by hikemaster

  • The three ...

    MacGregorMountain030.jpg The three "bumps" in the background of this northwestern view from MacGregor Mountain are the famed "Chapin, Chiquita, and Ypsilon" mountains. The large, but shorter, tree-covered mountain in the foreground is Bighorn Mountain. image by hikemaster

  • This large...

    MacGregorMountain032.jpg This large, gnarled dead tree on top of MacGregor Mountain was interesting enough to merit a photo. image by hikemaster

  • To descend...

    MacGregorMountain034.jpg To descend MacGregor Mountain, Hikemasters Scott and Matthew aimed for the gap between the two rock outcroppings in the foreground. Clouds continue to hug the high peaks of the Front Range. image by hikemaster

  • We coined ...

    MacGregorMountain036.jpg We coined the "slab" you see here "MacGregor Slab", a popular rock-climbing spot on the side of MacGregor Mountain, whose summit is far higher and out of view from here. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MacGregorMountain037.jpg Hikemaster Scott's Honda Civic sits at the Fall River Visitor Center, waiting for the two hikemasters below MacGregor Mountain, upon our return. image by hikemaster
