Oracle Ridge, Catalina Camp, Red Ridge – 10/15/2015

The Oracle Ridge, Catalina Camp and Red Ridge Trail loop – big views, beautiful ridges, mines, roads, cattle, fire and aspens – this loop is not pure wilderness, but it is amazing, and perhaps all the better for the hints of the mountains past and future.

Moon on the old outhouse at One Park Place - an old mining camp that is strange, fascinating and slightly creepy all at the same time. October 2015.
