| no partners | | | Today, I chose to explore something new in the Dragoons, while driving over Middlemarch Pass on a beautiful winter's afternoon. I hiked up FR 4393 to its end at the Escapule Mine, where I peeked inside its tunnel, which appeared to go quite aways into the mountain. From there, I went a short distance to the saddle on the west side of Black Diamond Peak, to scout out a possible route to the summit. Saw some cougar tracks in the snow. Being too late in the day to try for the summit, I instead followed an old mine trail around the peak just west of Black Diamond (Silver Cloud Peak). The views were incredible, and I got to watch the sunset on Black Diamond's west face. I hope to return when I have more time. |
