Climbing Up from Southeastern Plateau
The southeastern side of Summit Peak is skirted by a large flat grassy area sporting a few small lakes and a segment of the continental divide trail. This is a shot looking SE from part way up the southeast face of Summit Peak. It's hard to tell in this shot, but I'm actually climbing up a 30° slope and am quite a ways above the flat grassy area behind me. Since the ground flattens out behind me and there are no cues for the change in angle, it all looks flat.
