Back to Park City Again - Love this place!

After we dropped off Delaney at camp, we headed up to the pass nearby and decided to hike up to the top of the nearest peak, approximately one mile.  If you look just behind David's head, you can see the parking lot below us.  This is about midway up.

 The wildflowers were beautiful and quite distracting as I hiked along.  I'm pretty positive that these were blue bonnets behind me, perhaps some high altitude kind?  I didn't know they grew on the mountains in Utah and in the fields of Texas!

 Vistas kept getting better the higher we hiked.

The people who blazed this trail need to add some more switchbacks!  This was straight up the ridge line.  And this is how we felt every 10 steps!

The lake on the left is the one that Delaney's camp is on. 

 The blue bubble at the top is where we parked, the blue dot on the middle left is the top of the peak we climbed 10,300.  Below, the blue dot by the lake is where we climbed down to.  If you draw a straight line from one blue dot to the other, across all of the very tight contour lines (indicating a very steep slope), you find the path we accidentally bushwhacked to get to the lake.  Some guy on the trail told us the path looped just to follow it around below the peak.  We obviously did not find the trail he was talking about.  By the time we were 20 feet down, we decided it was too much work to turn around.  What a work out!

If you look in the middle of the picture, just below and to the left of the peak, you see a clear patch in the midst of the trees, this is the gully we clambered down foolishly.  No harm done in the end.
