Hans Peak from near the parking area. You can see the old watch tower on top. |
|
Steamboat Lake from part way up. |
|
Looking north past Columbine from part way up. |
|
A storm to the south from the top. It was time to get down off of there quick. |
|
An old mining cabin on the shoulder of the mountain. There were lots of old gold mines on Hans Peak, but none of them ever were profitable. The miners that stayed in this cabin worked a mine near the top of the peak where they had to hand carry the ore out by the bucketful. |
|
The same cabin. |
|
Looking back up towards the peak with the storm closing in. |
|
An Aspen grove on the way down. It looked like there were lots of sheep through there at some point. |
|
One last look at the peak through the trees from the bottom. |
