Granite Mountain
December 2, 2017


Granite Mountain as seen from where the road emerges from the narrows and into the open


About a mile closer


West Granite Mountain and Bartlett Lake in back.


The summit, with about 400 vertical feet of nasty brush to get through


On the pillar with the benchmark


Using a branch to get my germs on the highest point


View northeast at Mount Ord, Crabtree Butte and Boulder Mountain


Four Peaks


Rock formations below, Boulder Mountain in back with some of the road we walked down below


Suddenly, we're back on the road. Four Peaks again


Looking back up at the mountain mass


Images of the road within the narrows. The trickle emanates from Log Corral Spring and runs about 500 feet.


Some show-stopper rocks in the road. You better have serious off-road vehicles, like these people did


Cottonwoods in Sycamore Creek as we exit
