Baker from Artist's Point
Crossing Rocky Creek Dam
Colfax Peak comes into view
We hiked in trail runners to the base of the glacier
Lincoln and Colfax
At the base of the glacier we transitioned to ski boots and crampons
The boot to the summit was straight forward
The views were amazing
Sherman Peak front and center
As we got closer the wind started to pick up
We found ourselves in the clouds for short stints
