Trail's End















LOOK SIDEWAYS-THIS IS THE WATER FALL





AT THE TRAIL'S HEAD























ON THE WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN



































A LITTLE MORE UP THE MOUNTAIN












WE ARE ABOVE THE FALLS









TOP OF THE RIDGE-GLACIER IN BACKGROUND










Six Days-8 Hikes-57 miles
Doesn't sound like that much until you realize that half of it has been up the mountain!
We hiked up to the Iceline Ridge today. Was a difficult hike and we all had tired legs, so several of us slipped and fell coming down. It was slick and muddy with loose rock, so down we went. Not serious injuries only bruises. We did encounter dark clouds coming over the mountain once we had gotten almost all the way to the ridge, but after stopping for lunch we continued on to the top. We didn't stay long since it was sprinkling and I would hate to think how slick it would have been if we had not gotten back down the mountain.
Lisa managed to make every step we did, even with a bum knee. She gets the Courage Award.
We have laughed, and laughed all week. It has been a true joy and blessing.
