Pure bliss. Best. Hike. Ever. The photos say it all. I will add that the closer you get to the mountain, the more impossible and overwhelming it becomes. Last big hike of the season and I think the boys really saw the payoff on this one.

This was a beautiful hike from beginning to end.
After a brief push uphill, things leveled out and we could just amble along and enjoy the scenery.
Fields of flowers!
Sudden landscape change--I guess we are above the tree line. Now it looks like the moon.
Amazingly, there is actually a reservoir up there.

| Happy Hiker. |

Back down through the moonscape.
And into the cool forest.
