Roman went hiking December 25, 2016 7.5 miles 1,750 feet gained

Hardy Ridge

Perfect weather, fresh snow from the night before, unbelievable sunset! Judging by the tracks I was alone on Hardy yesterday, and probably just 1 person the day before. Decided to not do a loop in the dark, and return back on a more tracked trail on west side.

Epic sunset, with that ocean of clouds, up there... Wow!!!

Thanks! The photos don't really do it justice - the clouds were constantly "flowing", running on and off ridges, like slow-motion waves. Was very cool to just stay there and watch.
