"How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains." - John Muir It is hard to not have a smile on your face when you walk outside and see this view. The sunrise was awe-inspiring this morning. We have been lucky the past few days. We have only had a sprinkle or two of rain. Yesterday looked like it was going to rain the whole day, but we never saw a drop. I am super excited to see what today brings. I have a feeling it is going to be a spectacular day on the mountain. Time to soak up some rays and discover again how magnificent this mountain is.

We're set to hike up on Wednesday. Hopefully no rain during our hike, but we tend to be unlucky, lol. How bad would it have to be for us to abort? 7/29/2013 04:29:13 am

Good morning all-I haven't been on in a while, but have kept up with the posts every week and miss Mt LeConte terribly. Don't put off going up it because you never know when you will get back. I will be hiking Mt Haleakala from now on at least for a while as my wife and I have moved to Maui, HI. All of this came up very quickly revolving around a job opportunity combined with the opportunity for the BIG ADVENTURE. So here we are, and I can't wait to hike the trails over here. Hi to all the regulars here, and I hate that I won't get to meet you for a while. Keep hiking that beautiful Mtn.

We day hiked up today, and the weather was perfect. It was 61 degrees at the trail head of Alum cave, dry and crisp. On days like this you get an excited "I won the lottery" feeling as you climb. Every view, stunning. Up on top, the small group at Cliff Tops was giddy, every direction crystal clear. Almost exactly seven months earlier I had the same luck, 12/30/12, it was clear, dry with a coating of fresh powder snow on everything. Last July I was rewarded after the climb with rain and a view of 10 feet, so you really appreciate the great days! Comments are closed.
