The day after Skyline Divide, I decided to hike even though the whole state was cloudy. I went back near Baker to Railroad Grade, on the south side of the mountain. I hoped the clouds would clear for a minute, but it never panned out. I seem to have a habit of meeting retired Korean guys on hikes though - on Railroad Grade I made friends with Alex Kim, and we loitered for about 2 hours hoping for sun.

The foot of Easton Glacier and the trail
Looking back along the trail. Into the clouds we go!
The hoary marmot, king of the mountain
Another marmot with lunch
Me, Easton Glacier
A group of high schoolers and instructors. Outward Bound, maybe?
The same group, having passed us
Seward Peak through the clouds
Looking north, hoping it will clear up
So close...
Twin Sisters, peaks obscured by the clouds
