Alpine Happiness

[TOGIE]

dude, you gotta MacGyver that shit and whittle some stake out of the fir or just weigh it down with rocks! No need to make the nice lady cry

she was playing it up. secretly so happy inside that we now had no choice but to bail out of the windy rainy basin and go have a cozy evening at truck with hot chocolate.

If I get after it I can be at this spot in 2 hours from my front door...

That's an amazing shot! @GrantK

I’m jealous that the closest 12,000 foot peak is 20 hours away.

Awesome pictures!!

I drove past the trailhead to this little known shangri-la on my Yukon hunt. Going to have to go back and check it out before the knees get too bad.

Only one problem taking a hot tent to the alpine. Firewood.

Yeah, nothing like setting camp at 10k for three days only to realize I forgot the full canister of stove fuel.

very cool mountain. nothing crazy to climb, although does offer some spicier routes.

but it is in my opinion undoubtedly, quite possibly, one of the single most picturesque mountains in the state

(not my pictures)

What a great thread. So many places I need to go.

this picture is from 2013. i didn't go on my first big game hunt until 2017. i've since decided that basin immediately below me, dominating the right half of the photo is where i want to have a goat tag should i ever be blessed with one.

big bonus points if you any of you nerds can name the basin, or the two prominent closest 13ers in the photo.
