A Bit of Backcountry

Decided after waiting an hour and a half in line to get to Alta that i was going to go to solitude for the day. Passed the Spruce campground in Big cottonwood and noticed that there were tons of people with the same idea that I had. I followed a bunch of people up through the aspen grove to this point. For my first hiking experience, I would consider it a success.


Great shot of Honeycomb Canyon at Solitude
The clouds cleared out just a I reached the top



The sun started peeking through the clouds as I approached the top of the trees.

Skied right through these trees on the way down.
The skin track was so serious. Everyone that passed me said that they couldn't believe how steep it was. The skis were slipping back at some points.
