Photos of Ophir Colorado

Unbelievably, yesterday was the first time I ventured above the shelf up high in waterfall canyon and was blow away by both the approach, views down valley, as well as the high alpine terrain and flowers in the upper basin.



It only took about one and half hours to reach the top of the shelf. I bumped into my neighbor who told me it was about another two hours to make to one of the saddles which allows you to look over Ice Lakes to the south.



Will try to see if there's a route which circles back on the western side of Waterfall Creek ... possibly linking up with Janes.
