Enjoyable day hikeHad a lot of fun, despite feeling the effects of some virus or another. The main gully had quite of bit of loose rock; I had better luck contouring around to the NE near the top. Amazing views on top!

From upper monarchThis summit caught my eye while climbing Sawtooth Peak in October 2009. One year later I came back for this one, and it did not disappoint. The small summit seems to hover above the Monarch lakes.
