A defining moment on our Betty Bear Hut trip. Hagerman Pass Road was closed about a mile
short of Hagerman Pass (11,900 feet) for "security reasons." Not to be dissuaded, we were
able to pack all of the essential gear to the hut, three miles on the other side of the pass.

The moon can be seen over the mountains around sunset. The peak in the "V" is Mount Elbert, 14,433'. |

Getting going in the morning. The temperature was in the upper
twenties, but it felt *much* warmer in the sun!
That's me on the left. Nick, Geoff, and Lisa on the right.

These guys joined us for breakfast. The chipmunk ate on the rock for quite a while. The camp robber was into the dried fruit we left it on the railing. |

Here we're looking down the West end of Hagerman Tunnel. The water filling the tunnel was
amazingly clear; the emerald color in the photo is pretty close to how it actually looked.
