Priest and Spy Rock 2017

At the trail head

Passing Cripple Creek on the ascent. We hiked up with minimal water knowing we could refill at the top.

Cripple Creek was flowing very well with the wet Spring.

Kaylee took point the entire trip and set a great pace.

There is a nice overlook about 2/3 of the way up to the peak of the Priest.

Also at the overlook. We stopped here for a snack and water.

At the summit of the Priest there are a few good overlooks.

And finally at Spy Rock. We arrived around 6:45pm and setup camp then climbed the rock for the views.

We lucked into nice weather and a great sunset.

Hi there!

We got a late orange glow on the higher clouds.

Another successful hammock camping adventure.

Back on the trail early in the morning

And back at the Priest overlook, on a different rock this time.

Kaylee polished off the other bag of trail mix.

One last photo. It was pretty breezy.
