Vesper Pk.

[Jim Dockery]

I got out for a good day of skiing yesterday. Couldn't find a partner (much to my wife's dismay), but this is one of my favorite local routes, so wasn't worried and took care. I also have an emergency locator beacon for a last resort. I only brought my iPhone and snapped a couple of landscapes.

Sperry Pk. from the trail. My route circles around it up a valley on the left, Vesper is behind.

Summit Pano, Mt. Baker is seen on the left (north) Glacier Pk. in center (east). I love this view - wanted to get Mt. Rainier to the south, but couldn't do a full pivot from my little perch.

Beautiful scenery. I love the shot of Sperry Peak but the view of the surrounding peaks in the second image is absolutely breathtaking. Well worth expanding the browser window to take it in as the full panorama.

Amazing scenery and great images.

I wish I could borrow your legs and climbing knowledge for a couple of weeks, Jim. Great images.

Really amazing Jim to think that you are still skiing when it’s been 90 to 100 degrees in this Utah/Colorado area.

Thanks for the comments guys. That's why I live up here Jim, by this time of year I can't go anywhere south without melting. Our spring has been pretty wet and cool so we have lots of nice snow left on the higher elevations, infact it snowed the top 2000 ft. on Vesper a couple days ago! I like this time of year because there isn't much avalanche danger.
