Sunday June 6th . My attempt to be l-i-v-i-n' that dream continues early this morning. Back up 7-9 hours, I was thoroughly shaking a leg for a few hours at the Pride Party/Dance. Then I got a few hours sleep before setting out from the dining hall with a few hiking buddies a little before 5:30am.
Less than 6 miles round trip to the Upper Copper Creek Basin, but a pretty steep climb - gained at least 2500ft. Great fucking time, took a little time to explore and enjoy our destination. Then we timed our decent perfectly to walk right back to the dining hall for a most sustaining and delicious brunch!
Looking south at the saddle between Buckskin Mt. (left) and Copper Mt. (off to the right).
Looking west, Copper Mt.
Looking northwest, Copper Mt. in on opposite of creek. Larch needles are budding.
