Far Side Sunday

Beautiful early-morning hues

Dr. K, Becca and I spent a beautiful Sunday morning hiking around Tortugas Mountain; well, actually, we started from the Monte Vista parking area in the east, circled two-thirds of the way around the Tortoise before heading back.  We had three encounters with mountain bikers, one with the two guys pictured below and two with the same woman biker--once when we were starting off and once when we were nearly finished with out trek.  Everybody seemed to be enjoying the pleasant weather very much.

Back behind the mountain

Nearly at the spot where the trail bends right

Looking east toward the Organs

Spotting mountain bikers

West of Tortugas

Two mountain bikers whose path we crossed

Heading back behind the mountain again

Almost back to the car
