Abbey Way Trail 151 = June 6, 2009

A beautiful day for a hike up Aztec Peak

Topped off by a climb up the ranger tower

Abbey Way Trail 151
Our destination, Aztec Peak
1 hr of web research and no name for them
Plenty of green on the trail
Mylitta Crescent butterfies
A lizard casually sunning himself
Four Peaks in the center background
Higher up a clearer view of Four Peaks
The wind has taken all but 18 states
Trail's end at the base of the ranger tower
Four Peaks from the top of the tower

Must be Aztec Peak, huh?
Viewing Southeast framed by tower
That's one hard cushioned recliner!
Hard-backed chair
Table surrounded by benches
His-n-Her's recliners
Ground-level view of ranger tower
Tree skeleton?
This tree split into four-tined fork
Another of the many forked trees
Orange like a Gulf Fritillary but wings wrong shape
Another view of the unknown butterfly
Still haven't found the name
One mile down the road from the tower
A trail for another day (Not an easy one!)
