The perfect Christmas Tree! It's going to be a long trek to decorate it each year.

This was early on in the trail, but I believe it's Mt. Yale. Please correct me if you know for sure which mountain it is. :-)

The weather was getting iffy by this part of the trail. I was debating on whether to go inside this and wait it out. Pretty cool!
