Setting out from a trailhead

Setting out from a trailhead in September 2023, with my helmet and trekking poles clipped to the pack and a rocky ridge rising behind me. There is a water bottle in the side pocket, and I am squinting through my sunglasses. I don't have a solid name for this trailhead, so I'll leave it at that.

The ridge in the back looks like the start of a real mountain day, and the pack was already loaded. I took this before walking off.
