Trip Report

Our cool July weather is giving us some great hiking days plus the cloudy skies make for some excellent pictures. Snow and mosquitoes were a moderate problem heading up Maxwell Butte but they both disappeared by the time we reached the summit allowing us to enjoy our lunch and the great views.
