Harding Ice field

/ rugreen4u4632

3500 feet up, nearly 7 hours, and 9 miles of amazing hiking. I’ll let the pictures tell the story.

  • Beginning: Harding ice field above us
  • Strenuous steps
  • Marmot meadows
  • Wildflowers everywhere.
  • Mountains everywhere
  • Glaciers too
We saw two marmots at top of the cliffs

The whole hike took 4 hours to get up to the top. Started the hike at 8 am. The last bit was hard but it was packed with wildflowers, mountains, snow, glaciers and ice fields. I forgot how hard I was working because of the sheer beauty of the scenery.
