"On this arid summit, where the winds blow hard, where no root takes hold, where distance seems infinite and heaven close, the spirit is tested and replenished ... for the pilgrim has reached a thin place, where one steps into the highest dimension of one's existence." Michael Mullen looking back from the trail to Red Cloud Peak at about 13,500ft altitude.
Located around 13,000ft on the way to Handies peak 14,048ft. Sloan Lake with American Peak in the background makes a well earned rest stop in both directions.
