Sun Coming Out 12-20-09
The clouds settled down below the top of the mountain allowing the sun to shine brightly over Mt. LeConte. It's still cold out , only 12 degrees. There's about 32 inches of snow on the ground. I haven't seen the sun in a few days and I was a little stir crazy! So I got out and made my way through some pretty deep snow.

It seemed like it only took a moment for everything to turn from grey to blue and white.
Leconte Shelter
I hiked up to the LeConte Shelter. Someone had been there before me. I tracked them back across camp and down to the split. Whoever it was came up either Rainbow or Bullhead and went back that way.
The Lodge in December
What a fantastic afternoon on LeConte. I hope that whoever hiked to the shelter makes it out alright. It's not easy to hike in deep snow like we have on the mountain now. It is beautiful though. I hope tomorrow i will have more sun and I can get out and see more of the top of LeConte in the snow.
