this was the best hike of the summer. we got an early start and the trail to ourselves; woke up wandering through the most amazing display of wildflowers i've ever seen, came across an elk mama, made our way up towards timberline in swirling mists. we were both silent for at least an hour - it really felt like hiking into another world. i'm posting the most pictures so far - there are so many good ones!

three cheers for unconfined recreation! long live the wild.
