I really loved this hike.  The people and the hike were all new to us.  The climb with the switchbacks and such reminded me of the old times (500) years ago in China.  The "BOW" people.  They designed similar hikes to raise coffins to the top and insert them in caves.  Only problem was the coffins were 500lbs!  I was carrying sandwiches.  lol

 

This is at the top of the hike near the cave. Me, Hubby and Stepdaughter.

 

The slite wet rock is running ice water.

Ice sculpture made by nature.

Wierd Tree formation.

Pure Beauty.

Out of place Rock.

 

Step daughter and me on a sharp incline.
