watch out for the marmots that'll ride back in your car, didn't notice the one that hitched a ride with me until it bumped the exhaust the next day (and made the jeep smell like burned hair for a few days)

Grouse Gulch Great Base
Long day for Niagra and American, especially after Coxcomb and a long night in Silverton waiting for Zach M to score, but fun.

from Jones Mountain via Snare Gulch
Another great peak. Left a summit register jar for future climbers. Really enjoyed this area. The views are outstanding in every direction.
Route Climbed: "Donovan Direct" from Burns Gulch TH
Turned off of the Standard Route and took a more direct line via the snow. It was about 18 inches deep in the deepest places and made for a great climb. At one point durring the climb I stopped to look down the valley and thought "this is why I became a climber".

Niagara Peak is a fine mountain. It probably has the finest summit view in this region of grand vistas (it compares favorably with nearby Handies Peak). Along on this climbe were my dogs Sopris and Raymond.
