Dillon Pinnacles

This past weekend we went out to the cabin as well as cruised around the Gunnison/Crested Butte area. On the afternoon of the Fourth of July we decided we wanted to look for a nice hike to go on before dinner and the fireworks. We had gone to the parade in Crested Butte but went back in to Gunnison to check out the Blue Mesa Reservoir. I had been in the area so much but never ventured out west of town.

We hiked to an area called Dillon Pinnacles. These were really amazing...formations made out of rock and ash many, many years ago.
A closer look revealed formations much like concrete but on a much larger scale. There wasn't really a trail to them but we managed to make our way around them. The close up experience was a lot cooler. In this picture you can see huge rocks cemented in to an ash base...some of them hanging out quite a bit.
