Low miles today, but tons of elevation.

The trail is washed out in this area, so instead of walking the trail (impossible) and gaining 1500 feet over 10 miles, we are hiking directly up over a mountain ridge.

We gained 1500 feet over 1 mile.

We started in the river basin pictured below.

A few pictures from elevation and the top.
