"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Loop trip from SweetwaterHit this one during a backpack up Turret Creek and then down Sweetwater. This is probably the best peak in the Flat Tops although Trappers might have better views and some bigger scenery. There's some big exposure off the northwest face of this one. After going up Shingle we moved over to Shepherd Lake and saw some of the worst mosquitos I've seen up there.
