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.

That’s Peak One off in the distance.
