On Sunday afternoon Bob Horn and I set out for the lookout of Three Fingers Mountain. It was my 5th time up the mountain. I knew that we would be racing time in order to make it to the summit before dark. For now I will mostly share photos. The complete photo set is on Flickr. You can click HERE to view them.
First, we saw a black bear right next to the trail as we approached Goat Flats. He ran away from us and partially up a nearby tree.
We made good time considering we left the trail head at 2:30 p.m., arrived at Goat Flats at 5 p.m., and made it to the lookout at 7:15 p.m. (in time for a great sunset).
We saw several mountain goats, the sunset and sunrise were magnificent, we needed ice axes but not crampons, the night was cold (below freezing in the lookout), but overall it was awesome!
