Escudilla Trail

Tahoe and I hiked this steep three mile long trail up the mountain.

These are the thickest aspen groves I have ever seen. It is virgin forest, so some of the aspen trunks are huge. When I tried to put my arms around a particularly large one, I couldn't make my fingers touch on the other side.

This is Profanity Ridge.

The trail was so beautiful, and we were rewarded with outstanding views of the White Mountains from the top. Tahoe didn't want to go up in the lookout tower with me, so he waited patiently below.
