Medicine Bow Peak - 2018

Two days from NH and I can be in WY. Knowing I need to acclimatize, in 2018 I came up to hike the MBP loop from south to north. Probably about 6 miles all told. Now, each summer, it's become something of a tradition.  

This climb is part of a larger album. If you wish, you can Open the full album
