i take these photos to understand trail times and physical effort.

Focus and discipline are superpowers.

Superpowers are attractive to some and obnoxious to others.

Over-focus on things you used to under-focus on or ignored.

GNP Day 38, physically

10-second video: Heading to the far end of the lake.
Making our way to the Falls.

Gunsight Pass elevation gain (from the lake) is more than we have legs or time for. Easy decision to not hike to the Pass. Our legs and leisurely, hour lunch thanked us.

GNP Day 37, physically

10:30 AM start. Layered up with decent room in backpack for shedding layers as we climb to Comeau Pass.
10-second video: Once we hit the sun, layers will start shedding.
22-second video: Onward.
9-second video: almost to Comeau Pass.

This hike, the Sperry Glacier hike, is vying for favorite GNP hike.

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.

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.
