Yesterday we went up and hiked the Fisher Towers trail with the boys. This trail is a rather popular trail so we usually only hike it in the winter. We only saw a few people there yesterday, one guy hauling loads to the base of the King Fisher route and two Australians.
Last time we hiked to the Towers it was so icy we did not get far. Yesterday we had only the wind to contend with. The area and its numerous towers and fins are quite strange and unique. The first person who climbed the towers (Huntley Ingalls) descibed the area this way "a pink, red and orange skyscraper city in nightmare Gothic". Good description
