On top of St. Mary's

two miles up the trail and still standing

Dean takes in the view of Stevensville

Victory!

A challenging trail

Amazing views in every direction

Charles accepted an invitation to accompany Dean Diers to hike St. Mary's Peak today. The trailhead is at 8340 ft. and rises to 9300 ft. at the fire watch station 3.5 miles of switch-back trails latter!

It took most of the day as Charles is nowhere near the shape he was just a few years ago! But, the summit was reached and Charles has lived to tell the tale. His pedometer (on his iphone) recorded 24,000+ steps on the seven mile hike!!!
