The day
we hiked Mt. Pierce was mild by winter standards. The temperature was in
the mid to upper 30's with little wind. We made good time on the trail and
only saw a few people the entire day. However, we weren't entirely alone.
We we stopped for a break we were visited by some gray jays who wanted our
snacks.
This was
the first winter 4,000 footer for all of us so to celebrate the occasion
we enjoyed some champagne on the summit.

We
made it to the summit of Mt. Pierce from the Mitzpah cabin in about an
hour. The trail begins climbing steeply from the cabin, but levels out
before the summit. The clouds were rolling in and out and our views were
limited. |
|
We took
a break at the summit for a little while and had to tell a couple of other
hikers that they made it. The peak is very broad and wooded, but luckily
there is a large rock cairn and a benchmark located at the summit. |

Bruce
and I bagged the summit of Mt. Pierce on our way back from Eisenhower. We
didn't spend much time on the summit because we wanted to check out the
Mitzpah Spring hut and get back to the car. Even though it was cool,
cloudy and damp all day it did not rain during our hike.
