It was overcast and snowing in Frisco when I started up the trail toward Masontown and Mt. Royal. Since the weather was so nice, I decided to skip the Mt. Royal turnoff and climb up higher toward Peak One. So I did.

Here’s the view looking back down from about the same place. That lakey thing you see at the top of the picture is Dillon Reservoir:
I decided to stop when I got to what I’m pretty sure is Victoria Peak. I had the good fortune to glimpse a rare sight here: a wild radio tower in its natural habitat. They can get aggressive during mating season but I’m pretty quiet in the woods and he didn’t even notice me standing there. Pretty cool.
That’s Peak One off in the distance.
