Father/Son to Turtlehead Peak, Red Rock Canyon

HOLGA shot from the trailhead of Turtlehead Peak.
After 2.5 miles, 2300 vertical feet, and 90 minutes, here were are on top.
Eli's first peak: Turtlehead Mountain, 6323 feet.
HOLGA shots of Eli at the summit.

I asked Eli, "Where are your ears?" :)
Celebrating our first peak together.

Turtlehead Peak from the ridge, looking southeast, late in the afternoon.
The last bit of sunlight hitting the peak as we arrive back in the parking lot. An hour and a half up, and one hour flat back down.
I carried Eli in a Kelty TC 3.0. He is about 28 pounds now, plus two cameras, plus water, plus Eli's milk, jacket etc. I don't know, but pretty soon he will have to start walking himself. HOLGA shots are Fuji Pro800Z. The 35mm shots are Fuji Pro160C.
