Vermillion Peak from the highway
|
Vermilion Peak Despite the long haul up a gully, it's an enjoyable scramble and impossible to get lost. I was fascinated by the immense flat shale shards. I wish though we had clearer views of the surroundings peaks. The ridge is well-trodden and we found it best to stay on top instead of traveling below the crest. |
