Yellow Mountain Update

Our trip to the Yellow Mountains which we just completed covered several days and thousands of feet of climbing.  Well, not technical climbing anyway but walking up and down stone steps, quite steep at times, for a real workout.  Like in many mountains, the mornings were clearer than the late mornings to afternoons when the cloud cover came in pretty thick.  The best pictures with the clearest sky’s were in the early mornings.  The second morning there we got up at 05:20 to hurry to see the sun rise over the Yellow Mountain peaks.  By 9:30 the clouds had rolled in and the views of the valley below were all but obliterated.

Over the three days that we were in the Yellow Mountain district a total of 550 pictures were taken, a few of them really nice.  All of them can be viewed at flickr but sift through quickly to find the good ones.

After all of the climbing my calves were feeling it while others in our party were really laid up lame for days afterward.  Our little “Goat” was the realy climber of the group scampering up the climbs waiting for us at the top.
