First of the snow we

Our goal is past the spire on the left

First snow on the trail... not bad, YET!

More snow as we climbed

Heading up the chasm toward the huge boulder

Approaching the boulder to climb past

The path we came up

View from on top of the boulder

View east out of the canyon

Waterfall we must ascend past

Lower part of the waterfall

Looking down from above the falls

Another falls to climb past

We climbed the rocks to the right

More climbing

We climbed up the left here

The opposite side of the chasm from the ruins

Steadily gaining more altitude

Finally clear of the snow

First view of the Indian ruins on the cliff wall

Almost camouflaged into the wall

Very impressive construction!

In the entry area

This one was two stories tall

Overhang above the ruins

View out holes that held roof beams

View across the chasm

What

View out the end...

Heading back down

Smaller ruin just below and right of center

Gabriele working her way down

One of the snowier areas

Our path brought us along the edges

Frosting of ice

Looking back up

Almost back to the trailhead
