We took a little run up to Hatcher Pass on Wednesday. I've posted some pics here:

For some sense of scale, try to see the people on the other side of the lake. There are some folks on the path on the right, and some by the rock slide, below the snow, kind of in the middle of the shot.

1. Really like the Columbine. How high is the tree line there?

2. Not real high, maybe 3,000 feet or so.

The summit where the lake is is 3,886 feet. Tree line is lower up here because of our latitude.

3. That's what I was thinking. You don't have to go too high

to get the "alpine" experience. I can't handle anything near 9-10 thousand feet.

4. Your photos are so rich, Blue!

So textural. I feel as if I'm right there. Thank you for the beauty :)

6. Texture is a big thing with me.

Thanks for noticing. :)
