"Virtual Hike" page 10:
View of Headwaters Hill from the southwest

After visiting unnamed 11,697', I went back to the Colorado/Continental Divide Trail and followed it west towards Windy Peak. The photo below is what Headwaters Hill looks like from the Trail on the southeast flank of Windy - roughly from the part of the Trail you saw on page 7 of this virtual hike. That's Antora visible over the right shoulder.

The photo below was taken from the Continental Divide, on the saddle between Windy Peak and Headwaters Hill. The view is to the north, into the Millswitch Creek valley.

On the left is the north flank of Windy. At the far right is Mount Ouray's shoulder, which you also saw on page 8. Millswitch Creek flows into Marshall Creek, which flows into Tomichi Creek, which merges with the Gunnison River, which joins forces with the Colorado River at Grand Junction.
