"Virtual Hike" page 4: Lunch at Headwaters
Hill
I was surprised to find lots of evergreens at the top of
Headwaters Hill - since it's nearly 12,000' above sea level, I
expected the summit would be above the timberline. It was nice to
have a little shelter though, because the wind that day was very
strong. The photo below shows the quiet little spot where we had
lunch.
The foliage on the north face is so dense that you don't really
have a good view in that direction. There are a few bare spots,
though, from which you can get clear views to the west and to the
southeast.
