Peak Baggin' with Courtney, Bo & Jeff - Near Bridge Mtn
What a long and great hike we did yesterday. This peak is that HUGE one, next to Bridge Mountain that you can see when driving in from the south side of Zion. Think Bridge Mountain and add some ups and downs.... People who came on the hike but do not post here were DB - AWESOME Lady and James --- who is brave enough to want to do a Courtney hike weekly and had no issues with swimming in the Subway right now without a wetsuit!

What a fun group. I loved seeing Jeff again! Last time I saw him, when he hiked across Zion in a day with Bo, he was moving so fast I hardly got to see him.

It definately was an awesome hike with some really great, fun lovin' folks!
Thanks to all, and especially to you Tanya and the patience you have to stop and smell the roses! Beautiful photography as usual! We kept a fast pace 0 PPH (photos per hour) on the first leg of the journey and dropped off to a pleasant 200 PPH rate on the second leg!

Great TR, as usual. I thought that might have been your LR at the overlooks lot. We came thru about 6 or so.

More Courtney Attire... and Jeff demonstrates why to never wear shorts on a Bo or Courtney hike.

For a day with so many highlights, it's hard to pick out my favorite point in the day...but finding the ram head definitely ranks up there. I love stuff like that.
A great day out. Shane, you shoulda been there. Good times.

Thanks for the route map too Bo!
The Panamints were awesome too, but we didn't make Sentinal peak! Not enough motivation (on my part). I picked up some kind of bug last week, and was feeling under the weather. We had about 6000' of elevation gain as it was, and it nearly did me in!
We backpacked into Panimint city, and then onto the saddle, which overlooks Death Valley! It was soooo beautiful there, and there was so much water! Every spring was flowing and there's so many surprisingly green riparian sections in that canyon!
Last time I'd done this hike was about 10 years ago ~ and I'd forgotten how pretty it is.
Lookin at the topo yesterday - and recalling Rick Kent's adventure - I can hardly believe it! Are you sure he's not pulling your leg Courtney? If he really did all those peaks in a day then
I'm happy you all had such a great time.
Hope I can join you before too long.

Randi,
I'm sorry you didn't make it...and no, Rick's not pulling my leg. I've been on similar (though not nearly that intense) death marches with Rick. He's the real deal. Makes me look like a complete poser, which of course, I am.

Tell Courtney that the 60's called and they want their shirt back.
Looks like a great day.

I HATE running!

Very cool photos. I like that pink shirt tanya. That shirt against the redrock makes a cool contrast. Now that I have a baby girl at home, I have to start appreciating that color.
