Looking up at the east face of Haihte Spire.
Taken on a trip to Ya'ai Peak, Haihte Spire, Half Dome, Viking Dome, and Rugged Mountain in the Haihte Range.
My new range in action. From IKEA, it is so much better than the one we had, mostly since it didn't have 40 years of rust messing with the fuel/air mixture
Kerlingarfjöll (1,477 m (4,846 ft)) is a mountain range in Iceland situated in the Highlands of Iceland near the Kjölur highland road. The volcanic origin of these mountains is evidenced by the numerous hot springs and rivulets in the area. And indeed, they are part of a large volcano system of 100 km2 (39 sq mi). The volcanoes of the range are tuyas.
The earth is shimmering red in this area because of the volcanic rhyolite stone the mountains are composed of. Minerals that have emerged from the hot springs also color the ground yellow, red and green.
The area was formerly known for its summer ski resort, but this was dismantled in 2000.
Denali Highway is a very scenic drive with views of the Alaska Range. This was in the spring at a hunting camp with good lake fishing. A pink sunset casts a beautiful reflection on the lake.
The Grenadier Range is quite possibly the most spectacular range of mountains in Colorado. On the far left of the picture, is Vestal Peak (13,864'), then Arrow Peak (13,803'), and Electric Peak (13,292') a little lower and in the foreground. Then in the middle of the photo I think is Graystone Peak (13,489'), with Mt. Garfield (13,074') to the right. Although not very visible from here, the glacier-carved faces of Arrow, Vestal, and the nearby Trinity group are as great to look at as they are to climb. (Or so I've heard -- these are still on my to-do list!)
