Sunrise over Chasm Lake.

My favorite thing about being in the high country is the wildlife.<br>

Sarah Shull hangs out on the summit of Sharkstooth. Although this is the highest summit in the park that lacks a "non-technical" ascent route, it is easily accessible by rock graded at 5.6.<br>

Fall colors.

A typical bivy in RMNP. Find a good overhanging rock and hope it stays dry. This one is up above Chasm Lake and is good for hitting the Diamond via Alexander's Chimney. Photo by Joseffa Meir, 2001.
