Went up the front side jogging/hiking casual with my most frequent hiking/running partner who insisted today to stop and take in all the smells, sights and sounds, so I was happy to just go with it and enjoy a perfect morning on the summer solstice. Took things easy again on the down, found a nice overlook on NE Ridge on top of a surprisingly high cliff and spent ~5 minutes taking in the views of Longs, Audubon and the divide. Is there anything better than the long days of June filled with the endless possibilities of high mountain outings for the summer?
