Arizona: near San Francisco Peaks

This was taken at the start of a hike that would take us around the San Francisco Peaks.  The goal was to map out a trail that would then be used by the Boy Scouts.  Our route was about half way up the mountain, as I recall.  Hikers were Harry, Todd, Rebecca and our dog Shawneen, shown here with a backpack which she "lost" soon after this picture was taken.  It held all her food.....

Arizona: view from San Francisco Peaks

I read recently that it is now illegal to climb to the top of the San Francisco Peaks.  Good thing I was able to do that many years ago.
