Nearing the end of the 14er season, this would be my last in 2019. A dark chilly hike to the top where I hung out with a couple other people at the summit. Good times. We all did what we could to stay warm and enjoy the views, but I really didn’t warm up until closer to the valley floor and in the sunlight.

The bridge crossing the water way was a major surprise as I make the return trip. Going up early, it was still dark when I crossed it.
