Some of my favorite shots other people took:
Opus: Snow dunes, summit, and Luis.
Iron: Tracks going up Howard. (Also me on 5255).
Trailpair: People all over the summit areas, lunch meadow sculpture.

When there’s lots of see, I sort of go into shoot-and-sprint mode.
It’s sort of like a biathlon. Except with a camera instead of a rifle. And snowshoes instead of skis. And Goretex instead of spandex. And it’s not a race. And you don’t win medals. But there was an analogy in there somewhere.
Anyway, today was easy, because the interesting features were right there as we hiked along. I barely had to pause to get lots of photos.
Funny to see that the big thing out there, Rainier, only got a few shots, because it stayed pretty much the same the whole time it was in view. It’s all the local details (trees, people, rime, cornices) that made the trip noteworthy.
Much more time-consuming was winnowing down the 318 photos I took. I finally gave up and posted too many, but at least it gives a feel for how the trip was just continually eye-catching.
A Few More Photos
Here are a couple stitched views I didn’t have ready earlier. And one more cornice shot.
