"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Lower Iowa GulchWe started at Lower Iowa Gulch trailhead, went up Dyer Amphitheatre to the saddle, then up Dyer's west ridge to summit Dyer. We then went down the east ridge, climbed the twin summits of Gemini and then Sherman. We descended to the Sherman - Sheridan saddle and then dropped back down to our start point.

Some cool bumpsScaled the NE prominance first (county high point) and had a bit to eat on the other peak. Couple of cool little bumps. Went on to tag Dyer. Couldn't have asked for better weather.

Nice Solo hike.

Via ShermanSeeing as I was parked in Iowa Gulch and didn't want to back track I figured Gemini deserved a little attention today.

Dyer, Gemini and Sherman from Sacramento Creek THAn Elk bugled when I stepped onto the trail in the morning. An elk bugled in the afternoon when I stepped off the trail and back onto the road. Never saw anyone that day; just heard the elk. Thanks.

This one may have..been a 14er once. I'm sure the intensive mining blasting that occured on the peak in the 1800's downgraded it some. Who knows, I'm surely not a geologist.

From ShermanShort hike from sherman. There is a large wind shelter on top. it looks like people are trying to stack rocks to make it a 14er

Tour de Mosquito RangeDid this along with Dyer, Sherman, Sheridan, Peerless and Horseshoe that day. The Mosquitos can sure deliver some fun.

Route Climbed: Iowa Gulch via West Ridge of Sheridan Date Climbed: October 8, 20055th named peak of the day following Sheridan, Peerless, Horseshoe, and Sherman. Took the ridge to Dyer, but didn't summit. Excellent route.

Route Climbed: Via Sherman Summit Date Climbed: October 2, 2005Tagged top after summiting Sherman with Alan Arnette. It was great climbing back over the north slope of Sherman and through the first snow of the year. Experienced some incredibly strong October winds on the saddles with relatively calm summits.

Route Climbed: Upper Iowa Gulch Date Climbed: June 11, 2005Climbed at night under clear skies. I thought this would be the most asthetic way to climb this peak. Although I couldn't see the power lines, I could surely hear them. Also climbed Dyer as well.
