Scrambled Mist Mountain yesterday. Highest Peak in K-Country south of Highwood Pass.
10,300 ft (3130m). My first foray above 10,000 ft. A lot of work for a mere hiker, like me, but worth the effort even though it was cloudy most of the day. If not for the views... finding 2 hot spring pools on the way down, at approx 2300m elevation and soaking them up for nearly 2 hours wasn't a bad deal either.

Summit Ridge & False Summit (true summit is actually beyond that high point)




Summit Memorial for a Scramber killed by lightening in 1989

Hot Springs Overflow Stream (Algae colour caused by the mix of thermophile organisms, photosynthetic pigments and sulfur... I think)
