My friend John's Pathfinder on Yankee Hill Trail. Rough surface and a moderately steep grade with a loose make its difficulty rating 5.

 

Naichin and me were on the top of Yankee Hill. You can see there is a rainbow behind us. What a beautiful day it would be!

 

You can see St. Mary Alice Glacier on Yankee Hill. My girl friend wore her Glacier Nation Park's T-shirt and took a picture in front of St. Mary Alice Glacier. Hmm.......
