Flattop Mountain
As the sun rose on the alpine tundra, the rock wall of Ptarmigan Point caught its first rays. As you can see, there is still some nice color up at 12,000' on top of the mountains. This is one of my favorite times of year to be in the tundra. Next week I'll release the video of this hike which takes you all the way from Bear Lake to Grand Lake.
