Asbestos Point
April 5, 2020

Asbestos Point from a distance. It is notable for the white refuse piles that lie below the ridge.

Hiking in lovely ponderosa.

This is a road.

Closer to the top, the forest is burned here.

Asbestos Point on the approach.

The final steep slope through the trees.

On top, looking east at Zimmerman Point.

The lovely saddle area.

Montage: Mining apparati, and a mining hole.

More burned trees.

Montage: a waterfall, and some old artifacts from the mining days.

Cool white tree looks like he's saying "look at me".

Pocket Creek from where I parked.
