Been dying to share this one.....because in my mind this view is unparalleled in all of Colorado (and this is just one direction). This is looking south from Handies Peak (14,048') toward the Grenadier Range and Needles Mountains of the San Juan Range.....between Durango and Lake City. I climbed it again this last Wednesday.....after last climbing it almost 20 years ago. I didn't take a photo then, but definitely wanted to get one this time.

THIS.....is one of the reasons why people climb!:
