Haystack Butte

So here is where we went on Saturday:  the Highline Trail, Haystack Butte and the Garden Wall:

As you approach Haystack, its shape begins to change, not looking square at all.
Can you see the trail going across the green hillside? Right when the trail gets just below the peak, it turns (called a switchback) and continues up the diagonal line to a broad saddle.
Lynn and I climbed up to the base of the biggest cliff band;
we were sitting there watching bluebirds.

Looking the other direction; the "Garden Wall" is behind me.

Our bluebird perch
don't worry Mom, this is as far as we went!
