Shot this scenic on the Leadking 4×4 trail this past weekend. Snowmass Mountain (left) and Hagerman Peak rise from the North Fork of the Crystal River. Hagerman has interesting backcountry ski routes on the south face in view, time for more 13ers next spring? Fun to note that perhaps five hours before this photo was taken, the water in the creek was snow up on the mountain in the background. Primal.
