Picture of the week 27

Last week I spoke of the “frigid shade” at Lava Tower. It was that crisp morning we awoke to find our water bottles frozen as we dug into the deepest corners of our trusty packs to find the goose down jackets, warm hats and expedition mittens we’d dutifully carried over the last six days. When the sun finally reached us, however, we were back to fleece jackets with the zippers part way down.

Note: That’s Lava Tower reflected in my son’s glasses.
