Elsie went hiking September 8, 2013 22 miles 5,500 feet gained
Set out early with Bosterson and a girlfriend of mine to make the 22mi loop from Coldwater Lake and around Whittier and back along the south Coldwater trail. Lovely day, abundance of happy things, including hundreds of newly hatched frogs, herd of elk, goats, ladybug swarms, ripe huckleberries, basking snakes, peaks all around, plenty of sun and breeze, and a gorgeous sunset. Kinda long day of 11hrs, but furthest day hike I've ever done, so beat one of my personal records.
