... and this is, sadly, all we were allowed to see. The weather deteriorated progressively throughout the day. We arrived at the viewpoint to spitting rain and fog, and were left to trace in from our memory of numerous photographs the three glacier-carved spires topping out at nearly 9000 feet. Even the stone amphitheater that forms their base was massive and awe-inspiring. Again, the picture doesn't do much to show the grandness of space, size, and weight...We hiked back from the viewpoint in the rain and arrived back in camp to a full-fledged rainstorm. Our tent, having previously served as "Noah´s Ark" in Yosemite, was being called into service again.
