It was--but it was a bit nerve-wracking that day because of the proximity of the thunderstorms!

It's certainly a barren landscape.

slgwv replied to tiabunna:

Heh. We're over 10K feet here (3K m)--well above timberline! And all the shattered rock is from millennia of freeze-thaw cycles; "frost riving" (or "wedging") in the jargon. Not conducive to soil formation! ;)

This looks the sort of path where you need proper soles on your hiking boots or you'd feel every single stone;-) I can understand you wouldn't want to be caught out in a thunderstorm up there!

We tried putting booties on the dogs for a while, but it turned out to be counterproductive. Grit would get trapped inside the bootie and abrade their pads even more!

(I'd posted this a week or so back, but now see that it didn't go thru for whatever reason.)
