Trailhead Icehouse Canyon Trailhead Park wherever its a big lot and there’s more parking further away too. Make sure to have your Adventure Pass.

Aha! Our first overnighter. All that damned gear again. So my bad AGAIN. I said we should leave at 1pm. That was not a great idea. But anyway. The going up was hard due the fact that we each were carrying two gallons of water. Urg. Since there’s no water up there it was really important we didn’t run out. By the end everyone was glad we brought as much water as we did. The break at Icehouse Saddle was nice. Then we continued on. By the time we made it to the summit it was almost dark.

Good thing I brought BEER!

After setting up we watched the fireworks

and then RAVED!

That shit was cool. Then is was off to see what midnight looked like at the summit.

The next day we woke up to THE WONDERMENT! A sea of clouds.

So dope.

About 10am we headed back down. Going down was great (hehehe), real quick. Such as awesome trip. Can’t wait to do it again.
