This was the last peak of my Warner Range trip. After spending the night at the Cave Lake Campground, I continued up the rough road to the trailhead.

A short distance up the trail I walked past Moonlight Mine, an abandoned mine.

The privy was sinking into it's pit. |
The road got rougher after this point, but it was easy to follow. Up at the top of the first hill there was a wet section, but I was able to get across without getting my feet wet. Some cows ran away as I hiked up.

Some of the cows on the way up. |
The summit is fairly bare, but I found some rocks to support my pole. I got setup and got on the air. K6ARK had planned to do his goat activation, but I was too early to work him. I did a quick activation, then hiked back to the car. I had a long drive home ahead of me, and didn't want to get back too late.
