Trouble Brewing

Looking west towards the San Miguel Mountains from the Vermilion-Golden Horn saddle. When we reached the saddle and I saw these clouds I wondered how long it would be before early afternoon thunderstorms would hit us. Fortunately we were able to summit Golden Horn, but we did get a little hail (with no rain???) while we were on the summit...and then the big claps of thunder came while we were descending. Amazingly it never rained on us all day. Ice Lake Basin San Juan Range - Colorado September 5, 2011
