Both feet on the ground and some pics from the recent trip along the Sandia Crest Trail. It rained Friday night so I didn't get any pictures of the approach up from Tunnel Springs.
The view from my first night's camp.
I loaded up and hit the trail about 7:30.
The Needle as seen from the trail at about 9400 feet.
Lunch at a scenic overlook.
I survived a bout of wicked blisters on both heels and what seemed like a never-ending uphill climb (6150 to 10601 feet) but I made it to the end trail head in time for my shuttle ride on Sunday, back to where I parked my truck. (Thank you to the shuttle pilot for showing up with a mega-gulp each of ice water and Coke).

Glad to be of service. Besides, I missed you and was trying to entice you to leave the comfort of the mountains...
