Back to Beautiful Wife   Blue Mountain, Nevada 2002
Next, sometime around the first of April, we went on a death-defying hike to the top of one of our local mountain tops.  Blue Mountain, associated with its distant bluish color, elevates to over 7300 feet MSL.  The road stopped us from driving any further at about 5300 feet MSL.  So, the climb to the top was about 2000 feet.  Luckily it was a cool day.  Below are some shots from this journey.

          

The picture indicating the END at the top of the mountain really doesn't justify the top.  The top is actually far behind the peak to the left and also much higher in elevation.  When we got home we soaked our 'dogs' in hot water.  No blisters, but plenty of tender feet.  Next time we will wear two pair of socks.
