Looking back at the Knife's Edge from where we camped. The trail is up in the highest snow (but not on the top of the ridge). |
The miles came a little easier than the day before. Portrait is on trail and looking in the direction we are heading. |
The trail climbed up to a ridge and a snow wall that towered over us. We had two choices: make permanent camp on the snow shelf or kick in steps and climb over the wall. |
Somewhere under there was a river that we followed all the way down into a valley and camp. About a mile up stream from this log pile was a beaver lodge and dam. We saw them swimming around--one smacked its tail on the water to scare us off. If only they knew how many logs they were missing out on. |
