| Neither of us set an alarm, but Portrait woke us up at 4:45. I had been half joking when I had suggested a sunrise summit...I didn't feel like another repeat of Mount Whitney (on the PCT). |
 |
| Still a little ways from the summit the sun was up. It was warm and mild as we continued to hike upwards. |
 |
| On the summit. A little cool, a little breezy, but nice enough to stay awhile. |
 |
| Portrait looking for data on the summit (there was some). |
 |
| On the way down the trail dropped quickly--no more thin air for us. This river had half a dozen beaver dams on it making it the perfect place to see a moose...but we didn't. |

 |
| At the bottom of the decent we ran into the maker of the Bear Creek route and maps. He was out with a team flagging a new section of trail. |
 |
| It was almost like being back in New Mexico. We spent the rest of the day walking on roads--sometimes through pretty aspen groves, but most of it was through fields full of sage brush--just like the desert. |
