Here are a few photos from our hike up Mount Garfield in Colorado, close to our home in Grand Junction, in January '14. Click on one of the small images below to see it full size.

Mount Garfield is a very steep climb: 2,000 feet elevation gain in just two miles The trail runs along the top of some very steep ridges on the East side of Mount Garfield Janice on one of the ridges at the start of the trail Very steep
Looking down the first part of the trail We saw some wild horses in this area Janice climbing towards the saddle We passed some relics old mining operations
Beautiful scenery along the trail There's a steep drop-off on part of the trail Janice on the saddle before the summit ridge Looking North-East towards the Grand Mesa
Above the saddle the trail became very icy Above the saddle Just below the summit Good view of the trail from just below the summit
On the summit Looking South-West towards Colorado National Monument and our house Looking North-West along the Bookcliffs Looking North-East towards the Grand Mesa, the largest flat-topped mountain in the world
