I took a counter-clockwise hike on the Deep Creek to the Eider Creek trail loop. I can’t remember how long it took, but it was about 2-3 hours and I took my time … actually traveling up the ridge line for 10 minutes past the junction where the Sneffels Highline and Deep Creek Trail head converge to get a view up and over the canopy of trees. The shot below was taken from this vantage point, where you can see the Telluride Ski Area on the right (lift 9 area):
Below is a macro shot of a cool looking mountain wild flower I came across. You might want to click on the photo and then go to the actual album and look at the largest size to really see the detail of this flower … which is truly amazing.
