Storm Mountain, Storm Drain (mostly), 153c westward


Last minute decision to visit a new-to-me local trail on a Sunday afternoon. Two others were to join in for a nice afternoon outside. The trail was a nice mix of good views with some fun rocks to get over.










Most of the way up to the trailhead - Storm Mountain (county) road looking east.







Looking south. Estes Park is in the valley between the two farthest ridges (center of pic).










Mount Meeker - far left high peak with Longs Peak just to the right of it (and slightly taller).

Up / Left into the trees for a scramble to the peak

























Heading northwest on 153b to see what's out there, hoping to find a good viewpoint for a sunset (but no, unless I wished to scramble atop some rocks).
