Pk5590  (SunTop Area)  11/19/2005 
(click photo for larger image, then backup to the Thumbnail Sheet)

 
The nine of us left the Sun Top trail at the Airstrip.  The conditions warmed as
we gained.  The snow was soft and all the powder from two weeks ago was
all gone.  Last photo taken just below Pk 5590 at 5300' (not much snowcover!).

          
At first place we could get in the open we had lunch (at 5100').  Views were great.
When we reached the open area just before Pk5590, we enjoyed views of the 
Cascade Crest peaks and Olympics.  Randy stayed in short all day.

     
The Cascade Crest peaks were great as well at the Stuart Range and Mt Rainier.
