The plan was to take our new 4 season ALPS Mountain tent to Rosary Lk (which is south of Bend ,Ore.) and test it out for 2 nights. However: The weather was super. The trail was easy going. So we just kept on going for about 6 miles until we found the Maiden Peak shelter..... And there we stayed; for 2 nights..... In the morning we headed for Maiden Peak which is some 4 miles beyond. Most of the way there was very little snow on the trail. Then we ran into enough of it that we were postholing. So we headed uphill through the trees until we reached the ridge top. Maiden (7040 ft) was another half mile beyond. On the way back, we stuck to the path and come to find out that had we postholed another 200ft we would have been over the worst of the snow. Oh well, it made for more of an adventure. Which was grand. Overall: It was a 9 mile day. with only about 1500ft of gain. The tent testing will have to happen another day. biggrin.gif

Live every day like you will die to-marrow. For some day that will be true.
