Pfeiferhorn TR
Hiked up to the Pfeiferhorn yesterday, weather was perfect. I got really lucky and ran into two herds of mountain goats, one hanging out near Upper Red Pine Lake and the second along the ridge . Lots of squirrels up on the peak too, got some pics of those. On the way down I decided to be stupid and headed down an extremely steep gully into the Maybird fork, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I had to trust lots of boulders to hold my weight, if one had slid down the mountain, I probably would have followed (didn't look so bad from the ridge). It was a great day, very cool hike. Took me about 8 hours but I spent a lot of time taking pictures and chasing mountain goats.

Some folks summit from Maybird, by climbing up one of the steep couliors, or, accessing the North Ridge, but, you probably wouldn't descend that way.
Anyhoo, great stuff...

Thanks. This is a nice way to spoil my eyes in the morning. And to forget that I'm at work and not somewhere else, heh.

amazing! I've never been able to get up there without some snow I've nearly wore my old guidebook out of this region. Thanks!
