Jackson Butte, Part 3: The Return Hike

With my forward travel stopped by what appeared to be poison ivy, I turned around
and headed back to Jackson Hole to examine a boulder I had seen from a distance
earlier. Then I hiked back to my car at the Amasa Back Trail parking lot.

Photos are generally in chronological order.

Your new camera is performing well. Lots of good shots and the words to provide context. Good clarity and earth colors, and the tones in the B&W images are appealing.
