| First time up, with three Outdoors Club friends. A scorcher down below, but cool and windy from Icehouse Saddle to the peak. Trail in excellent condition. No water past Columbine Spring, at Icehouse Canyon's switchbacks. Intrigued by the copper mine on Bighorn Peak's east face. Less haze than most days this summer, meaning good views. Drought damage apparent on some of the pines, especially on the peak. Saw two rattlesnakes above Icehouse Saddle, beauties, a real treat. |
