| From a hike up Humphreys Peak a few years ago. Ran into some weather up there. Took excellent rain gear, though, so no problemo. |
I remember camping in Doyle Saddle (the saddle between Agassiz Peak and Doyle Peak) during a thunderstorm.
ReplyDeleteThe lightning hitting that mountain causes it to rumble ... almost ringing ... like a giant gong.
That's a great view.
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be real careful riding over those cattle guards. Sometimes it's best just to walk em.
BlueCat I learned up there that lightning freezing rain and hail can come up suddenly and make your hike colder, wetter and more dramatic.
ReplyDeleteRat Trap Press, agreed. I went over them different ways on these rides, including walking. This style of guard in the photo had wide openings that made walking harder than it looks. In the end I preferred to ride straight across at a medium speed. I think you could walk on that board on the side, though.
