We had lunch in the shade of this face before heading back up. On the left is a fin (a very narrow ridge) that points straight towards us.
|
|
 |
Here you can see the trail to the left of the fin.

|
 |
Starting back up, all we see is hikers on switchbacks
|
|
 |
There are a lot of switchbacks below us, too.
|
|
 |
When we get jsut a little higher, we can see both sets of switchbacks.
|
|
 |
Those switchbacks were just below the Three-Mile Resthouse
|
|
 |
A little closer view of the resthouse.

On the way back up...
|
|
 |
...even though we only went three miles, it's a long way back up!
|
|
 |
Look carefully and you can see many sections of the trail below.
|
|
 |
A set of pyramid switchbacks above us
|
|
 |
The trail was significantly smoother and easier above this group of volunteer workers
|
|
 |
When you get higher, more distant features come into view.

 |
Ths bush was covered with orange butterflies
