Woodswalker went hiking July 9, 2015 5.74 miles 1,750 feet gained

Cooper Spur almost

I decided to let my car do some of the elevation gain since it was a hot day so I drove up to the Cloud Cap trailhead. A young stag walked right up to me just as I started up the trail and things just got even better from there. The flowers are still going but a lot of the lupine are looking tired in places. The heat got to me at a certain point and I decided it was the better part of valor to not do the last 800 feet of elevation gain up to where the official trail ends. Nonetheless I had a great time with lots of incredible glacier views.
