Day 4 - Over Ant Hill Post
Our intrepid crew hiked from Elk Lake over a 10600 foot saddle behind Ant Hill then across a creek and up a hillside to the Seven Brothers area. This was our longest hiking day with the most elevation. On the trail, we passed both of our other groups going the other direction. Our new home is a VERY impacted site since this area gets heavy use. We had horrendous lightning last night.

Amazing view! I have to admit the lightning would have scared me!

@bren - Well, it scared me two nights on this trip. When I can't
even count to "1" between the flash and boom, it's waaay too close!
I was just glad everyone was low and in their tents before the
storms started - much better than being caught out on the trail.
We had set up our tents in a forested area, but not near any lone, tall tree. See lightning safety page for info on lightning outdoors.
