Combined Owen with 12860B, 13122, 13490, and 10995 for a long but rewarding loop hike. Only a couple inches of snow to deal with. Check out the catwalk on 12860's s.e. ridge! See TR.
Route Climbed: West Ridge up South East Ridge down Date Climbed: June 8, 2003
The Wild Cherry Creek approach is beautiful beyond description. The West Ridge was an idylic stroll. The summit views were spectacular. And flirting with the Crestone Conglomerate on the South East Ridge for the descent rounded out the experience. Cherry Lake below was a perfect spot to cool my feet. Along with me were my dogs Sopris & Raymond.
