Pioneer Peak

So the adventure that Robert and I had on Saturday began with the intention of heading towards Pioneer Pass, but taking a right instead of the left.  We were looking for Pioneer Peak.

As we came upon the road, it was quite clear that this wasn't going to be so easy as the previous weekend.  Unfortunately there were no signs at the bottom of the mountain that would have led us in the direction we needed to go.

The one sign that we did find that had Pioneer Peak listed on it did not take us there, in fact we seemed to drive for quite some distance without going uphill, so we flipped a u-turn and tried again.  This time, we stayed to the left of the road where we had seen signs posted regarding ATV's, Dirt Bikes, etc... This particular road immediately started going uphill, yeah!  Within a mile or so on this road, we did find a sign that led us to believe we were heading in the right direction.

Well, we did eventually find Pioneer Peak, although the view was nothing like that of Pioneer Pass, it was definitely worth checking out anyway.  We came across a cave, found some towers and saw a storm sweep over the mountain side just below Pioneer Peak.
