  • East Glaci...

    HalfMountain001.jpg East Glacier Knob from the junction of Glacier Gorge trail with the North Longs Peak trail. Taking this trail is definitely the long way to get to Longs Peak....and the best way to Half Mountain! image by hikemaster

  • Thatchtop ...

    HalfMountain002.jpg Thatchtop Mountain looks awesome in this view from the North Longs Peak trail. image by hikemaster

  • Half Mount...

    HalfMountain003.jpg Half Mountain, from the North Longs Peak trail. You obviously can't go straight up from here. Rather, it is advised to continue along the trail until you are far enough left to walk up the forested ridge. image by hikemaster

  • YMCA hiker...

    HalfMountain005.jpg YMCA hikers McLain and Rod stop for a photo amid some tough bushwhacking on Half Mountain. It was great to hike with these two wonderful guys, both of whom love racquetball! There was lots to talk about! image by hikemaster

  • From the s...

    HalfMountain006.jpg From the side of Half Mountain, a great view of Stones Peak (left 2 bumps) and the Mummy Range opens up. Bear Lake Road, parking area, and the lake itself, appear in the basin below. image by hikemaster

  • Jim Cline,...

    HalfMountain010.jpg Jim Cline, Rod, and Dave take the final steps to the summit of Half Mountain. The hike up included a lot of steep bushwhacking through dense trees, rocks, and krummholz...but worth every step. image by hikemaster

    HalfMountain012.jpg Some of the peaks (from left to right) shown here from Half Mountain's summit: Otis, Hallett, Stones. Can you see Lake Haiyaha? image by hikemaster

    HalfMountain017.jpg 77-year old Jim Cline succeeds in reaching Half Mountain's summit. Here, he examines the terrain around Longs Peak. In the immediate left foreground is Storm Peak, RMNP's 11th highest peak. Looks like lots of snow on Longs' trough area. image by hikemaster

  • Perfect vi...

    HalfMountain019.jpg Perfect view of Andrews Glacier. To its left, the Sharkstooth. To its right, Otis Peak. Further right we find Hallett's Peak, and towards the left, Taylor Peak. image by hikemaster

  • Chiefshead...

    HalfMountain020.jpg Chiefshead Peak is RMNP's 3rd ranked summit, and it sure looks large in this image! Black Lake appears near the bottom of the photo. There is plenty of snow still clinging to the steep walls of the peaks up here. image by hikemaster

  • One wrong ...

    HalfMountain022.jpg One wrong step could land someone in Mills Lake (right) or Jewel Lake (left). What a unique perspective on these popular lakes! image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    HalfMountain025.jpg Hikemaster Scott loved the hike to Half Mountain, and the glorious view from the summit. Longs Peak (left) and Pagoda Mountain (right) dominate the backdrop here. image by hikemaster

  • Jim Cline ...

    HalfMountain026.jpg Jim Cline enjoys a third hike with Hikemaster Scott in 2008. Previous hikes were Pawnee-Toll and Sky Pond. Here he examines his new camera phone. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    HalfMountain029.jpg Hikemaster Scott atop Half Mountain. Magnificent Chiefshead Peak dominates the upper left, while McHenry's Peak appears in the upper right. Can you spot Black Lake? Finding Ribbon Falls might help you. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    HalfMountain030.jpg Hikemaster Scott poses on 11,482 ft Half Mountain, 1,500 feet above one of his favorite lakes in RMNP: Mills Lake. With a closer look above Scott's head, you can see a piece of the Loch too. image by hikemaster

  • Dave and M...

    HalfMountain031.jpg Dave and McLain enjoy lunch atop Half Mountain. For now, the weather on the peak was superb! Those clouds gathered quickly this day, however, and we had lightning and thunder by the time we headed down. image by hikemaster

  • Dave signs...

    HalfMountain035.jpg Dave signs his name in the registry atop Half Mountain while McLain and Rod take pictures on the summit. image by hikemaster

  • Dave exami...

    HalfMountain038.jpg Dave examines the immense rockiness of Glacier Gorge. Nowhere is the view of Glacier Gorge more spectacular. image by hikemaster

  • Uh oh! Is...

    HalfMountain039.jpg Uh oh! Is McLain going to tumble into Glacier Gorge? Depends on whether you think he's a good actor or not :-) image by hikemaster
