Heading down. It was loose and slidey, and I was really really happy I brought my trekking poles. I think my arms hurt more than my legs after this hike.

Ugh.

We bombed down the side of the peak as fast as we could - I think we all wanted to be OFF that stuff asap. We met back up at the mine where we spent a little more time exploring.

Equipment to run the tram.

You can see tram towers running all the way down to pine creek.

An old tram cart

Tracks to nowhere

One of the two Ingersoll Rand engines. An empty gas tank still strapped on the back.

The other IR engine.

Goodbye Mt Tom. You were quite a slog and I'm not sure I'll be back to do it again. But thanks for the beautiful day.

On the plateau/hanging valley. Basin Mtn straight across.

Basin Mountain, yesterday's climb.

Tuesday morning before our hike out - interesting clouds.

Moon set view as we hike out.

Driving back over Tioga Pass we watched a helicopter drop construction supplies. Crazy!
