The lower trail, looking up at the range crest. We have a lot to go still

Patch of spooky trees about midway up the canyon

Upper ridge as we approach Florida Saddle

About an hour later, Mount Ian comes into view. It's atop the rocky ridge seen above

Mount Ian summit not too far away

Now just moments away

On Mount Ian, looking south

Big Mount Wrightson

Northeast view, Florida Peak

West: Mount Hopkins with the observatory, Pete Mountain lower right

88 Mac as seen from the saddle

Approaching 88 Mac

Its rocky domey summit

The summit, with Matthias rising from a bush

Look back at Mount Wrightson from 88 Mac's top. Mount Ian blends in with Mount Wrightson from this vantage

Florida Peak next on our agenda

Last fifty grassy feet to the top

Cool view of the high range crest: Wrightson barely sticks up to the left, then Mount Ian and two subsidiary peaks, then 88 Mac to the right

Top of Florida

Looking north: closest peak is Castle Dome which I hiked last week. In back would be the Weigles Ridge peaks and farther back, Mount Fagan

Descending Florida Peak

As I drove out, this neat feller was just sitting in the road. I hope no one ran him over
