    Soda & Bryan Blackhead Peak
    Big payoff for a short hike, just under 6 miles. From Blackhead Peak you can see Pagosa to the west, Montezuma and Summit Peaks to the east as well as Pagosa Peak to the NW. As a bonus on the way up is Nipple Mtn. Peak. which you can spur off (1/4 mile) and explore.
