“This photo was taken on our honeymoon trip. The hike up to the top of Farewell Gap was a long stretch of exposed and narrow switchbacks. When we got to the top of the gap, the wind was incredible. We were able to lean into the wind and be supported by it. The view was incredible, and then we started down the other side of the valley to make camp.” – Beth

“Separated by 50 feet (16m) from the nearest person for nearly 15 hours a day, with the only sounds being the crunch of the snow beneath your feet, the wind past your ears, and the subtle movements of the glacier, I had many hours with only my thoughts. I thought about life, I imagined eating something other than freeze-dried beans, and I sang songs, many, many bad songs mostly of the children’s bedtime variety, for hours a day. Note to self: pay more attention to the lyrics of songs you like.” – Talis
