Leaving Hailstone
Butte. |
| Hike: RT 7.0
(including Hailstone Butte twice), 2.0 for
the traverse. Very nice lenghty trip with Link. We
circumvented the "mound" low to access Sentinel Pass. He
really
enjoyed the
grasses and roamed to his heart's content at the pass. The ascent to
the summit was quick. Link was on a leash for that part and pulling me!
He coiled up for a short rest at the top while I tried to change
batteries in my radio.
The sun was shining but it remained somewhat windy and cold. We
traversed higher on the "mound" coming back. Although it is more
direct, it is not much faster. |
