Made a return trip to La Plata Canyon this past Sunday. Thrilled to still be enjoying sunshine and Indian Summer here in the 4 Corners. Started at about 10,000 feet and topped out about 12,200 feet high in the La Plata's. Finally made it over the ridgeline above Taylor Lake and made a precarious traverse along a knife-like section. The mountains around here are almost vertical in spots - one slip makes for a long fall. I focus my eyes on the next step, careful not to be absorbed by the sweeping vistas. Although I know we need snow, I am quite content to enjoy the high peaks while I still can...
