GLASS

Ahhhh, a crystal clear, glassy morning on an alpine lake. I've summited the volcano in the background quite a few times. The hike/climb is non technical, but it's close to 5000' vertical and roughly 14 miles roundtrip...you break a sweat. When I hike to the top I go for sunrise and this means starting around midnight, depending on the time of year...the early start is worth the view. I recommend hiking poles for the decent :)
