Big hills

Last weekend Alex and I attempted our biggest hike to date. It started as the hike we had done the week before in reverse, but then a quarter mile away from the summit we saw this:

And it looked interesting:

So we said why not and headed up.  About half way up we stopped to catch our breath and the views were amazing.

And then we got to the top. I have seen some spectacular things since being out here, but this has to be one of the coolest. We were WAY up there. So high up we were looking down at the top of the chair lifts.

So high up we were looking down at the other mountains

So high up the reservoir was like a pond in the distance

Or perhaps most telling, so high up that it took us a LONG time to catch our breath. Not much oxygen up there that's for sure :o)

Next time I'm bringing my nice camera.
