Aha! 6 late Photos

These handsome folks got buried somewhere in my computer yesterday.  I pushed a strange button, and there they stood, full of smiles, and admiring the scenery of our hike on Coller State Wildlife area.
 
Behind these folks--Rio Grande flowing under ice with the splendid palisades behind it. 
Unusual picture:  7 men and two hard-hiking women #6 is hiding in her yellow coat.

 



Up a bit from the river.

 



Looking down-stream--Del Norte Peak on left, part of Beaver Mountain on the right (the burned hill from 2002)

 



Limber pines

 



Limber cones and 5-needle cluster on left; rounder cone with 3 needles is Ponderosa Pine

 



Bringing Del Norte Peak a bit closer.  It won't be many months until we'll be standing on top of it.
