We planned a late spring backpack to upper Fryingpan Basin just as soon as the White River Road reopened for the summer. While this was a heavier than normal snow year, we were still surprised that we would have to snowshoe all the way up from the road instead of just booting it as we had done in the past. This was shot from camp around 6 AM ... about an hour after watching a spectacular sunrise on the Mountain.
