Big stars under big walls in Glacier Gorge. September, 2014.

The elk hang out on Upper Glacier Gorge in the summer.

Decent approach trail, even in February.

Embrace the brutality.

Long's, Pagoda, Spearhead, & Chief's from Mill's Lake, 3-17-17.

Long's, Pagoda, and Chiefshead from Arrowhead.

Hiking in to Glacier Gorge with Spearhead and Chiefshead in the background.

Late afternoon.

Trudging on in search of ice.

McHenry's and Arrowhead as seen from Birds of Fire.

Moonset taken from Bear Lake Rd. en route to the Glacier Gorge TH.

Lots of rock to choose from in the Gorge.

Glacier Gorge at night.

Panorama of Glacier Gorge with the South End of the Basin below Long's Peak to the left, The Spearhead (center), and the 2,500 ft descent down through the Gorge to the right. The hike alone is worth the approach - so imagine the climbing.

Looking west into Glacier Gorge. Taken from the west face of Long's Peak. Chiefshead, Spearhead, and McHenry's Peak (left to right).

Looking down towards Black Lake. Lots of snow for July 3rd!
