Sunday Tour

more touring from low elevation. Eventually you find snow. I hope my dogs appreciate all the effort I make so they can come too.

Low Elevation Tour

The tour on Sunday was a low elevation tour. We heard that there was near blizard conditions on ridgelines, so we decided to deal with sticks, rocks and a dusting of snow instead.

Eventually, we climbed above 8000 feet where the avalanche forcast center told us that we would find snow. yup.

Shortly after admiring the setting sun's light on the way down, the snow petered out, and the 3000 foot downclimb began. What a great day!
