These are the 2 highest mountains in the Deep Creek Range on the Utah-Nevada boarder, both over 12,000 feet.

Working my way over to Haystack.
Looking back at the class 4 notch you must go through to get over to Haystack. Route drawn.
Traverse almost done, ready to scramble up.

Hiking out. The majority of the approach is in the forest.
Driving home, I took this shot heading East on I-80. There was a fire in the Stansburry Range near Deseret Peak (where I had been planning on climbing that Saturday but the fire changed my plans.)
