The 2 mile round-trip cross country route gaining 738' to reach Ohio Peak at 12,674' provides stunning panoramic views of the San Juan Mountains and surrounding ridge-lines. It is a moderate hike that is short and sweet unless you go around the ridge instead of climbing up the big gully. Penny, Toby and I enjoyed the leisurely trek and the amazing summit views. But our other little Moxies: Candy, Mary Ann and Jane M encountered horrid conditions including step scree and quick-sand. The weather was good but the afternoon clouds started to build about the time that Candy was chin deep and sinking in quick sand. Candy calls for help but Jane Marie tells Candy to "hurry up, the clouds are building and we're going to get struck by lightening". And the rest is left to your imagination. It was a great day in the mountains and hope to see you all soon.
