Mt. McKinley: Haugen & Team Settle in at 14,000’

Posted by: | June 23, 2011

Elevation: 14,200'

Another successful push up the hill brought us to our 14,000’ Camp.  The team performed wonderfully even with the big loads we were carrying.  14,000’ Camp is a huge flat area that has a view up towards the summit looking one way and a view out towards Mt. Foraker and Mt. Hunter the other way.  What an incredible place!  The sun reflecting off of the snow that surrounds us causes it to be quite hot during the day.  When the sun tucks behind the mountain around 9:00 PM, it gets COLD.  Like Alaska cold!  Go figure.  Although our team is a bunch of animals, we are taking a rest day tomorrow.

Hi Dad! Take it easy tomorrow and keep warm at night! Can’t wait to see pictures, the view from 14,000 sounds pretty nice.

Luv,
