14 miles, 3900 vertical feet

Ralph signs the log book
A view of the summit from very early in the hike
Rip and David take a break
Marcy throws a stick at Charles, forgetting how silly she'll look in the photograph
The hike continues towards the Sierra Club cabin
Ralph photographs a log
The cabin grows near
A neat rotten log
Ralph and Marcy with some rocks
Trees encountered at the steepest part of the trail
Manzanita shrubs and the summit
Looking southeast from near the top
A cool dead tree
Darcy and Nils climb a rock
Getting closer to the summit
Charles photographs shadow of self for posterity
Spot plane wreckage, win a prize
Charles on the summit
The sign at the top
Some of the people enjoying lunch at the summit
Darcy, Nils, David, Ralph, Marcy, Charles, and Rip (l-r) at the top
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs...
We begin with the trail towards Baldy Notch
Ralph and Marcy with clouds
Clouds without Ralph and Marcy
Manker Flats from above
An unhappy tree
