Best of 2010 Hiking Pictures

[Iceaxe]

Time to get our annual best of 2010 thread going...

The rules.... only one picture per post and no more then 5 pictures from any one person. The pictures must have been taken in 2010. The pictures do not have to be yours, but proper photo credit must be given and you must have permission to post the photo if it is not yours.

And while it is not required it's always nice if you post a little bit of info along with your picture. What, where when, who and how...

For those interested:

And to get things started.... here is one of my favorite pictures from 2010. This is Slickhorn Perfect Kiva, which is a hike I did with the wife and kids in October.

ahh, the ladder in slickhorn's perfect kiva. i can remember in 1978 and 81 climbing the original ladder while it was there. that ladder is now in the edge of the cedars museum in blanding, although they say it came out of grand gulch. in 81 we were there during thanksgiving and packed in the whole turkey day spread. right down to the cranberry sauce. i vaguely remember something about mushrooms being involved on that trip. great shot ice!

If I may be so bold as to post a picture from a non-Utah part of the world. Here's the wife and kid at the bottom of Tallulah Gorge in northern Georgia.

I had to hike to get here. Does this count? Anyway this picture I took was intentional, but I made a mistake and set off Dave Brunnels strobes (using up his batteries for the proffessional shots he was taking) and was the best shot I got in this un-disclosed cave on April 21, 2010.

I second that this is an awesome shot. It's tough to capture how awesome these couple of bends in Coyote gulch really are because of how deep and wide the cuts are. Nice work man.
