Along the deteriorating road, past where I parked.

The road eventually becomes more of a nuisance to follow, so I dropped to the right into Exchequer Canyon.

Within Exchequer Canyon.

Looking back at my progress up Exchequer Canyon.

Exchequer Canyon narrows into a pretty canyon, some mining ruins visible on the left.

Continuing up Exchequer Canyon.



Exchequer Spring.

Past Exchequer Canyon where the terrain gets more steep and forested.

The drainage has some deadfall and minor obstacles.

Looking back down Exchequer Canyon.

A small section of bushwhacking through aspens, but it's not a big deal.

Looking back as I ascend the steep last ew hundred feet of Exchequer Canyon.

Looking back just below the ridge, at the head of Exchequer Canyon.

I gained the ridge and headed to the right. This is a view to the north once I gained the ridge.

Continuing along the ridge to the summit of Cherry Creek Benchmark.

Cherry Creek Benchmark ahead.
