Yesterday my friend Kenny and I (bill) decided to head out and climb Hesperus Mountain. Also called Dibe' Nitsaa in Navajo; this peak is one of the four sacred mountains of this tribe (the other three being: Blanca peak, Mount Taylor, and the San Francisco Peaks). Each of these peaks marks the spiritual homeland of the Navajo people. Both of us have had our eye on this peak for a while, so with the weather giving us a window we went for it:
Looking off of the first ridge to the south into New Mexico.
The La Plata Mountain Range to the west: Lavander and Moss to the right, Babcock and Spiller peaks to the left.
Just an absolutely beautiful climb up to the summit.
Looking north from the summit (Lizard head wilderness area). No civilization for a hundred miles.
