Here are some photos from a summer climb up 9,063-foot-high (2,825 meters) Mount Herman, one of the local mountains not many miles from our house. First, a view up a rocky section of the trail.
Next, a view from the top down a dead section of forest.
Here's a view from the top over a rock.
And finally, a wildflower seen on the hike.

ReplyDeleteDo you know if the trees suffered from the mountain pine beetle? We read a lot about that when were were there last fall.
Here is Illinois, we seem to be hit by a number of tree bugs lately. The Emerald Ash Borer seems to be high on the list. Very sad to see so many trees hurt.
good colours and contrasts! :D
ReplyDeleteThe air must be rather thin at that altitude but it sure is lovely there.:)
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take? and was the thin air a problem?
ReplyDeletePerfect shot!
