Late start at 4:45 up Gumjuwac due to work schedules, so we had to rely on the days when we backpacked with toddlers. Lovely evening hike into the sunset.

Got another late start ~~ as in 6:15pm and made it to a secluded spot on rocks on a ridge for the night. Incredible views. Bugs were pretty bad heading up and then again mid morning coming down from the shelter.

Lacking time, we began hiking at 8pm and made camp at 7100. This morning, we continued up to 8200' then headed back. Star filled night.

Quick get away to spend the night under the stars and check out the new trail crossing the Elliott. Looking forward to crossing the next time we need to. The trail is beautiful and I'm especially thankful for all the workers who fixed it up for us!

Plan B because we weren't going to get to the trail head until 8pm due to work. Full moon and a little wind for a beautiful night.

Short on time, and wanted a view after the prior weekend sock in, so we revisited this hike.

Nice hike on Mother's Day.

Ran into Splintercat near the trailhead at White River. Since we were so late getting started, we camped at the viewpoint near the Timberline Trail under a starry, clear night. The Easter Bunny brought candy.

A quick out and back in between rain showers.

Beautiful Sunday, the last day of winter, turned into a windy affair during the night and pretty much drenched our tent with a good amount of snow. The Cooper Spur shelter on the Timberline Trail is filled with snow. You may be able to skinny through the top, but it would be creepy.

Hiked through snow in many places.
5 miles / 2,500 feet gained
Beautiful snowy day with a few feet of snow at the summit. Four people ahead of us broke trail, so it was a lovely path to follow.

Night hiked to spend the night. Potties were open (long crawl down) and stocked with TP, so it was a luxurious time!
