Looking back at the road to the trailhead |
The hike starts climbing the rocks right away |
There are clouds down in the valley to the west |
Looking east at the standard route trail |

Mt. Sherman summit looking north to Gemini Peak |
Indigo, Trek, Mariah & Brisco on the summit |
Me and the pups - 14,036 ft |
We tried a group shot with the gorillapod. To get the pups to look at the camera, I threw a rock. |
Trek decided to go find the rock! It was pretty funny (lack of oxygen) and here's the blooper shots |
Funny stuff aside - here's Trek on the summit |
The view to the west is steep and rocky |
After Sherman, we decided to head over to Gemini Peak |
Trek enjoying the green tundra |
There were lots of pretty alpine flowers |
Short, steep and rocky = Gemini Peak (fun!) |
Trek and Mariah rock-hopping up Gemini |

Mt. Sherman covered in hikers! There were 4 other people when we were up there. |
