Like so many people out there doing this crazy, awesome thing, one returning guest — a former navigation student — working on her 48 4000-footers (now with 17 to go) reached out looking for a knowing companion to go with. A little oversight can sometimes be a very good thing. Thus, we encourage this, not just because it’s how we earn a living, but because it is probably some of the most sound decision-making out there. On lead for this trip — and probably on some of the remaining trips on this guest’s list per her request, was Redline Guide Phoebe Seltzer. Phoebe captured some of this trip’s done moments with her camera offering us the wonderful scenes below.
There are a lot of water crossings on this hike. Fortunately they’re all manageable right now.
These woods are just so beautiful.
Decision time… this is a loop so either direction works.
The team opts to go north to north first, then east to south.
They picked a great day for it.
And boom, the south.
They find more views.
And more.
Redline Guide Phoebe Seltzer loving her work.
And it’s a wrap. A couple more peaks in the books.
