From the parking area, the hike starts through a wash.

The wash is littered with old mining crap.

Entering the mouth of Anniversary Narrows.

The first very cool feature after entering Anniversary Narrows.

There was some water in the narrows on our visit. The next few shots are of the pretty Anniversary Narrows formations.






Stemming to avoid touching the water.




At the head of Anniversary Narrows enjoying the light on the big walls before heading back through to find our route up to Endless Peak.

This was the ramp we chose to ascend to add some adventure (purple line on attached map). It worked somehow. I recommend this route if you want to add a little extra fun to the hike. Alternatively, head to the mouth of Anniversary Narrows and locate an easier slope (a few photos below).

If you take the ramp route, this is a shot looking down the ramp into Anniversary Narrows.

Close-up over the rim into Anniversary Narrows. The next few photos are if you're starting on the other ascent route option from the mouth of Anniversary Narrows.

At the mouth of Anniversary Narrows, this is the more straightforward route option. It heads up the slope on the left.

View down the slope toward the mouth of Anniversary Narrows. Wild geology here.

The ramp ascends to this view. To reach Endless Peak, drop into the drainage in the center and ascend the slope ahead.

Dropping into the drainage as we begin the ascent to Endless Peak. You can see the steep descent route from Capchin Peak we did on the left. The easier route to get back would come from the drainage in the center.

Ascending Endless Peak's southern slope to reach its southeastern ridge. Endless Peak visible left of center.

View back into the drainage we came out of as we near the ridgeline.

Along the southeastern ridge, there were some fun obstacles. This was a fun, avoidable Class 2/3 section.

View down into the drainage between Endless Peak and Capuchin Peak. Anniversary Narrows seen at the very top.

On the southeast ridge of Endless Peak, looking back toward Anniversary Narrows.

Wiggly ridgeline.

Our progress so far up to Endless Peak.

Approaching the false summit of Endless Peak.

Endless Peak ahead, seen from the false summit.

Looking back toward the false summit as we near the true summit.

Endless Peak summit, looking northwest. Muddy Mountains on the right.

Endless Peak summit, looking south at the Endless Peak false summit, Capuchin Peak (right).

Back on the false summit, now heading to Capuchin Peak (left of center). The following photos are from a better-lit day, hence their drastic change in lighting.

View back up as we descend from Endless Peak.

Endless Peak top left.

Almost up Capuchin Peak's Class 2 northern slope, view toward the slope/ridge we descended from Endless Peak on.

Capuchin Peak summit, view east.

View back toward Capuchin Peak.

The ridge dropped steeply. Anniversary Narrows seen center.

View back up the steep, cool geology.

Nearing the bottom of the steep Class 2/2+. You can see the drainage we crossed though in the center on the way up to Endless Peak. Anniversary Narrows seen top right.

Final shot back up the steep stuff as we closed the loop.
