Nice day to be above the clouds.

Some of the best shots I've ever seen!

Tim,
What time did you take that Monroe shot? We were on Monroe yesterday about 10:30 a.m. and didn't have that great undercast. We then headed on to Ike and Pierce and were in the clouds more often than not. Great shots as usual!

Nice shots! What were you using for a camera?

 

[Tim Seaver]

John - that was taken at 1:45 pm from the upper part of the Jewell trail. The only other thing I could see above the clouds was Franconia Ridge. Sphinx Col was in and out of the clouds:

kevinmac- today I was using a Canon 5D MkII with 24-105 zoom. No tripod today, so for the action shot I used a soft shell jacket bunched up on top of a short cairn for a camera support.

What a great collection of photos! The 2nd is my favorite, but I love how you can see people hiking up the trail in the first shot. Talk about a sense of scale.

Fabulous shots, as always, Tim. Your first shot is reminiscent of our hike up the Jewell Trail to Jefferson two seasons ago where we climbed out of the undercast to a fabulous day.

Keep 'em coming. We all like to live vicariously through other people's great trips and photos.
