GNP Day 36, physically

Mountains
We waited until after lunch for the sky to clear, wind to subside and temps to warm.
11-second video: Heading to Lincoln Pass and beyond.

The weather, while ‘crisp’ by Orlando standards, was delightfully crisp. It was in our bandwidth as long as the sun remained and the wind didn’t.

Photos like this serve as milestones for location, conditions, company, and destination.

First Chalet glimpse four miles in. Barely visible in photo.
7-second time-lapse video: Horse pack-train to replenish food and supplies at Chalet.

Hit the trail at 7:30 AM. First 1.5 miles are up.

Shed three layers. Pace is slow and steady. 

Today is hiking-day three. Still acclimating.

There’s the Sun, at the Chalet’s chimney.

A special place should be kept secret from people who would exploit it.

GNP Day 33, physically

Couple at trailhead
About to hike four miles uphill. The odds of seeing anyone on the trail are near zero.

The closer you get to the truth, the simpler the explanation.

GNP Day 32, physically

Mountain
Heavens Peak from The Loop. Photo taken from The Loop parking area at 6:10 AM. There were several spaces available.

It’s simple. If you don’t get a parking space, you don’t get to hike that trail. Tomorrow we need a parking space at The Loop. It features the trailhead to Granite Park Chalet. We are staying at Granite Park Chalet tomorrow.

Note: Years ago decided free Park shuttles do not fit my lifestyle. The reconnaissance this morning is the intel needed to ensure a space.
