I had to get over this sub peak ...

... just to see my goal for the day. Mount Princeton!

Looking back on the way I came. That's Pikes Peak on the horizon (top left).

A couple of happy hikers on the summit [Mary and David].

From the summit looking north-northwest, you can see Mount Yale (left), Mount Harvard (center distant), and Mount Columbia (right).

From the summit looking west towards the West Elks mountain range.

Happy birthday to you. happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Mark, happy birthday to you! (Should we tell the world how old you are?) Mark is now 40!

From the summit, looking back towards the sub-peak I had to climb to get to the summit of Mount Princeton. The trail back down is visible traversing the face of the mountain below.

The town of Buena Vista is visible in the Arkansa river valley below. South Park is located behind the ridge further to the east (top of photo).

Horizontal stratification?

No. Another view of the same face, this time with the camera horizontal.
