Day 53. Saddle Back

Mile 1966 – Little Swift River To Mile 1981 – Poplar Ridge

After a rainy night, we awoke to a cold, misty morning. Rocket noted that clear days are nice, but the misty and cloudy ones are far more interesting.

We have several peaks to cross today with quite a bit of exposed trail on the ridges in between.

Foggy start to the day

Clouds rolling over the mountain where we are heading

Looking at something far away

It turned out to be a really amazing hike with alternating clouds and sun creating a constantly changing landscape.

Sun peeking through

Trail ahead winding up the next peak

Walking in and out of the clouds

Alpine landscape
