Wetterhorn Basin Hike...August 13, 2004

This was a stunning day in many ways.  The sunrise on the Sneffels Range was gorgeous.  The weather was perfect.  I didn't see anyone else on the trail.  An added bonus was a fighter jet that flew up the west fork valley to the wall of Coxcomb and then went straight up.  I was near the pass when I heard the rumble and turned to look.  He was actually below me at that point, and then shot straight up out of sight.  I don't think they're supposed to do that but it sure gave me goosebumps.  I didn't have time to take a photo.  I remember thinking..."I'm glad they're on our side."  What a grand day - around 13 miles roundtrip.  It was my first use of a simple point and shoot digital camera.
