Mount Overlord

When after many days of hiking you see Mt. Overlord you know that you are getting closer to the end of the trail. The memories of sweating (and even swearing) during bogs crossings are still coming to your mind, but they are starting to have a taste of a small victory rather than exhaustion. Frequently, you catch yourself smiling when you recall the evenings at campsites when every conversation was starting with a food-related theme and when potato chips tasted like an “au gourmet” dish.
While you can still feel the sandblasting your face and cold biting your fingers you recall with satisfaction all these busy nights spent looking for compositions and taking photos. They provided you with breathtaking views seen during the trek and photos to remember them by. To me, the combination of these elements constitutes an amazing adventure.

Hey Artur, what an awesome view! I think seeing this in front of me I would have forgotten any pain or sweat it took to get there.

Thanks, everybody! It is quite an experience to hike through this giant valley. This mountain rises 1500 meters from the valley bottom. No crowds there. In 2017 there were 500 people in total in that area, including park staff, scientists, and rock climbers. Very few do the trek of the whole pass like we do. In short, it is not all that certain that you will see another human being there beyond the group you are going there with.
