Willie Above the Clouds

When I flew into Sitka yesterday morning, I saw that all of the higher peaks were above the clouds. So Willie and I set out in the rain to climb Bear Mountain.

 

We were in the clouds almost the entire way, and I thought maybe the clouds had thickened up and we would not see blue sky at all. But after experiencing the most disorienting whiteout I've ever seen in thick fog over a snowfield, we ascended into hot sun and blue sky. Willie played mountain goat, running back and forth on the steep ridge, peering off into the abyss on the other side.
