Starting from the Wheeler Peak Summit Trail.

A very gradual start to the trail.

A view through the aspens toward Wheeler Peak (right) and Doso Doyabi (left).


Progress along the Wheeler Peak Trail as it starts to switchback toward the ridge.

We left the trail to ascend this grassy slope so we could reach Bald Mountain first.

View back as we ascend the slope, Wheeler Peak in the distance.

Along the ridge, heading toward Bald Mountain.

Mount Moriah and its various sub-peaks.

We backtracked and continued to the Wheeler Peak Trail.

View back toward Bald Mountain. There were some rocky sections, but nothing too annoying.

A view back, Bald Mountain seen center.


The steeper stuff is coming.

Another shot back as we start up Wheeler Peak's talus.

The trail was constructed very well, cutting through pretty much all difficulty.

Wheeler Peak ahead.

View back at our progress up the ridge.

Getting higher. Stella Lake seen center.

A bit rockier, but still a well-constructed trail.

Doso Doyabi poking out.

The cloud-cover swarmed us.

View down into the Wheeler Peak cirque.
