The ranger station where we had to get our permits at 7:15 AM.

This is where we parked the first night. Aaron & Kate slept in bivies while Judy and I slept in the car.

At the trail head ready to go!

There's a big marmot in the shade here. Too bad I wasn't quick enough to get a pic while it was in the sun.

Group shot with a tripod.

Aaron and Kate.

Another group shot with the tripod.

This squirrel tried numerous times to bring the pine cone up the little hill only to have it roll back down.
