Assault on Hatch Peak
| To celebrate my last day before going back to that terrible place known as Idaho, I decided to drive to Hatcher Pass to watch the sun rise. But Ben wanted to come along; and when Ben and I get together in the mountains something brutal will always ensue. In this case that brutal activity would be an assault on Hatch Peak. This first picture is from just above the parking lot looking southeast at the first bit of color in the sky. |
| Ben was on snowshoes and I on randonee skis. We took an easier route that skirted below the ridgeline until the bowl with the lakes. |
| We didn't quite make it to the top due to poor snow conditions and the two of us being very tired, but we got pretty darn close. |
