Remarks & Notes

K-28s sisters 473 and 476 make their final push into Silverton, seen from high above the "Narrows" of the Animas River. Hopefully, I am the first and last person to obtain this angle by foot. Yes, by foot. The climb up was okay, but getting down was another story. After determining the rocks were too slick for an injury-free descent, I climbed nearly a mile up the mountain to an access road and walked back into Silverton. Not without encountering bears and large hail along the way. Next time, I'll fly the drone.
