Every time you hike Thompson Peak you realize how much better shape you could be in. The last quarter mile up to the peak is killer.
Kelly and I got started from the Gateway trailhead just behind the early crowd. Shade until we got to Bell Pass.
Once on Prospector we took a cairned use trail over to the service road, cutting off a chunk of mileage.
A nice breeze going up the road to the peak made for less of a sweat fest.
Hazy skies all around from the wind the last couple days. Saw a brittlebush with two flowers!
Kelly pushed the pace on the return trip as ice cold NAs awaited us in the car.
Lunch after. Good day. Thanks Kelly!
