Colton Crater and its surrounding rim. The highpoint is roughly in the middle. It is not the pointier peak to the right. That's a different peak


Going up


Look over at the highpoint


Walking up the final few feet


The top, looking south, Humphreys Peak in back


Now looking north, with SP Crater. Note how the grass leans the other way


Looking into the crater itself


On the hike out, SP Crater at left, Peak 7100 at right. In back is Gray Mountain, and the Navajo Nation
