Hiking again...

Unbelievably gorgeous hike up on Ptarmigan Ridge today. I didn't mean to hike the whole thing, but I couldn't stop. It was only about eight miles or so, but a long drive home.

Last night, I finally sat down at watched the National Geographic Special Journey to the Edge of the Universe on Youtube. It's a special-effects masterpiece that takes you up-close and personal with our neighboring planets, sun, and then extends out. I find it hypnotizing and glorious. To go from that to hiking in what is surely one of the most beautiful places on Earth is pretty amazing.
