Moody skies over Moody Point
Easy crossing over Cherry Creek
Steep, rocky trail up the hill
Hunting for cairns and tread
Rugged land and cliffs on the way
Some thankfully flat walking below the ruins
Ancient rock walls
One heck of a view
Northern views of the Sierra Ancha
Eyeing up the steady climb ahead
More cliffs reaching to the east
A few shaded sections of trail
Descending back down to Cherry Creek
