The altitudes quoted here are from the Philmont trail maps. Some are from explicit marks, some are interpolated from the contour lines. The latter are probably only accurate to within 20 feet or so.

These pages contain a number of pictures. Most of them are from a photo CD I had made of some of my slides. A few are the best of the generally poor-quality images I got from Seattle Filmworks. You can click here if you just want to see the pictures.

If you enjoy this journal, you might also want to read about our 1994 trek.
