It started on October 18th, 2013.

I made it to Brighton, threw everything into my backpack and began the hike.

November brought about the normal season for Utah.

In no time at all, I was back on the road for the Beartooth Summer Sessions in June.

A beautiful drive through Utah, Wyoming, and even Yellowstone National Park made the time fly.

After Yellowstone, my GPS went out at the beginning of the Beartooth Pass.

Naturally this meant that I had to get some more turns in.

After heading up the service road for only about 15 minutes, a pickup truck pulled up behind me.

They even gave me a ride up part of the way in the back of their truck.

Two hours after getting out of the back of the truck, I was standing on top of Baldy.

July brought me back to Alta, though in a much less dramatic way than June.
