We'd intended to do both Evans (left) and Bierstadt (right) on one hike, but when we saw what the Sawtooth (middle) looked like up close, we changed our plans.

With excellent timing, the big clouds only started to form in earnest as soon as we got back to the willow swamp on the way down.

Evans, the Sawtooth, and Bierstadt. No surprise that we decided not to cross the Sawtooth and do both peaks on the same day.

Peak-Bagging Wiener Dog

Yes, someone brought her dachshund up a 14er. The owner said that the dog made it about 90% of the way on its own (believable, since much of the trail is relatively smooth), and only had to be carried up the stepping stone stretch below the peak.

Looking in the direction of Grays and Torreys just as we started to ascend. I don't think this is one or the other peak.
