Deer Mountain - Spring 2011

Part of the Highlander Clan has visited Deer Mountain.  They returned with such glowing reports (just click to read them!) we decided we should see for ourselves.  Unfortunately, threatening weather kept us from summiting - well, actually we started too late in the morning.  Everyone knows you should plan to be down from the mountains by early afternoon! We hiked far enough, though, to realize that the claims are true.  The views are Gorgeous all along the way and some of the best are in the first mile!

Even our beloved Y of the Rockies
