Amazing, epic backpacking trip

I spent 6 days in the Needle Range of the San Juan mountains, in a beautiful low-elevation river valley, then over two challenging passes, one just under 13,000 ft. and the other off-trail at 13,600 ft. I saw spectacular mountain lakes, rugged peaks, mountain goats, and a gorgeous display of golden Aspen.

Just for fun, I also got to have the excitement of a porcupine coming in my tent in the middle of the night.

Here are a bajillion photos. If you would like to read a long and detailed report of the trip, it can be found here.
