Virginia and Summit passes

July 15 I hiked over Summit and Virginia passes. You start at the Green Creek trailhead (in the Hoover Wilderness, south of Bridgeport). The loop is about 18 miles, not too high (the passes are around 10,000 feet). I found some nice boletes, and the whole area was super pretty. Green Creek, by the way, is gorgeous! Check it out some day.

 I don't know what this is. Must look it up.
