Like Seeing the World From the Top Down!
Really great experience. It was early in the season, so there was still snow for at least 1/3 of the way up, but that added so much to the mystique of the trip. It was particularly cloudy at the lower altitudes, but once we got above the cloud layer, it was impressive views the rest of the way. -
