22 miles roundtrip. approximately 4000 feet vertical climb. 10 hours.
breathtaking.
7 miles in to mirror lake...blue skies, fresh mountain air. delectable.
123. jump!
still bustling with untapped energy, we forge ahead... the freshly snowcapped peaks beckoning us to come get a closer look...
almost there, 6 hours and 11 miles into it... jerky break.
and finally, after multiple sightings of fresh bear and mountain goat scat as well as potential cat tracks.... we make it. bear canyon trail to the ridge.
and bask
view over the ridge
and now, because i feel like i had a scuffle with the mob... i am off to make like gumby and get stretched out at bikrams....
