Riders are shown in the order they came along the trail. I was standing a few hundred yards down from the water troughs at the Squaw High Camp check. All I can say is the front runners came through *really* fast, and there was a big close knit pack.

Please let me know if you can identify any of these anonymous riders (so much for my cunning plan of being able to read the butt numbers off the horses in the photos)
