It started raining, so we called it a day and set up camp here for the night.

We decided to go on a "day hike" & investigate a spur trail that headed into a very cool valley, before climbing up to Buckskin Pass.

Entering the valley. Mountains on all sides. :)

This was a cool place. Definitely one to come back to.

This is as far in as we decided to go, so I took a picture of what was further up the valley, then we headed back.

This bird let us get really close before deciding to take off.
