View from our bivouac, above Cloudy Pass, morning of day 2, about 7500'. To the left are the Kololo Peaks and Honeycomb Glacier. Behind Gwynnie is the Suiattle River valley, a huge remote valley that has no road and has never been logged. Glacier Peak Wilderness. Glacier Peak is an active volcano. Sept. 2009.
In Sept 2011, Al and I spent one of the best nights of my life at the far-left of this photo, at about 7800', in perfect weather, a blood-red sunset, and stars all night, on a tiny ledge with room enough for me, the stove, and the dog.
