Mount Zirkel Wilderness, Red Dirt Pass

High wind with thunderstorms blow a hiker off balance on red dirt pass. We turned around just 100 feet short of the Mount Zirkel Summit due to the weather taking a turn for the worst. I snapped this photo as a huge gust of wind, 50-80 mph blew up and over Red Dirt Pass coming down from the summit blowing us to our knees. It's hard to keep your balance!
