At the top of the pass, we encountered many people enjoying these mountains in as many different ways. There were those who, like us, enjoyed the scenery from the relative comfort of their vehicle. We also saw a group of young lads hiking up the back side of this slope loaded down with snowboards. This would be a very strenuous climb and 30 minutes later we noticed them about a third of the way up to the top. On this side was a beautiful glacial pond. Clear as glass and cold as ice.
