The trail was "a little steep" in sections

How come the pictures say it they were taken in 2002? That looks like a beautiful hike!

Because dad's camera had the date wrong.....they were taken yesterday. We took the date off his camera so that he can go hiking and take pictures that would be framable.

Gorgeous views Dad! Glad you got to get out and enjoy the wilderness a bit more before it starts snowing up there!
p.s. Is it "Loan" Peak or "Lone" Peak? Wondering if you've been stuck in the office too much :)
