Flat top mountain looks great. Amazing morning you got 😊 you are really getting out there right now. Amazing!! Wow the glacier looks great. We love that you showed the views of the winter vs summer. The views from the summit looks awesome 👏 Have the best weekend 😊

Thanks! I’m trying to get some hiking in before it’s winter up in the mountains, I like the summer stuff better. Have a great weekend!

great hike, had hoped for maybe 15 more seconds of views at Hallett's Peak

Thanks! I didn’t take too much video in this one since I was hiking with other people. Met them when a huge mountain lion crossed our path and ended up doing most of the hike together after that 😂

Wow what a summit. Parts of that look like Mt Rainier
