Some lovely views on this trail.
Looks like a fine hike, Packrat. Makes Tortugas seem pretty insignificant from that vantage point, so I don't want to hear any more moans and groans (or huffs and puffs). :)
It is amazing to look down on Tortugas that way, Scott. Funny how, when you're driving up into the Organs, you don't consider how much altitude you're gaining.
