Mt. Lincoln is the very small highest peak above my left shoulder

Mine ruins

I started this route from the Quartzville TH at 4 am, summited at 7:30 am. Hung out at the summit for 30 minutes and was back at my truck at 9:45 am. This was a pretty straight forward hike up mining roads. The last push to the summit was some rock scrambling.

Overall a very nice easy hike from the Quarzville Trail Head.

Heading out at 4am

Pikes Peak can be seen in the far distance over my right shoulder.
