bryanlallen > At the quite nice walk-in trailhead campground, only $6 per night and for the exclusive use of hikers getting ready to depart on a hike (or, I suppose, hikers just having arrived from a hike.) One-night stay limit. Kudos to whoever came up with and developed this campground.

bryanlallen > A table at the walk-in trailhead campground. A spare and elegant structure.

bryanlallen > Horseshoe Meadow from the vicinity of the campground, looking southwest. I believe the peak shown is Trail Peak, 11605 feet; the meadow itself is at about 9900 feet.

bryanlallen > On the trail the next morning; various critters about, including this Clark's Nutcracker.

bryanlallen > The same bird a few seconds later; Nucifraga columbiana.

bryanlallen > The bird decided it had business somewhere else; shwoosh!

bryanlallen > Starting up the grade to Cottonwood Pass, and looking back east to expansive Horseshoe Meadow in the distance.

bryanlallen > A bit further along the Cottonwood Pass trail, again with Horseshoe Meadow in the distance. A very well-maintained and graded trail along here.

bryanlallen > Again looking east, climbing towards Cottonwood Pass at 11160 feet .
