Click on the panorama to see the full size [size Kb].

Or you can view it interactively using this panorama viewer [size Mb -- warning, this will take a while to load on a modem connection].

If you have trouble viewing this file, you can also download this executable, save it to your desktop, then double-click on it to view the panorama. The executable file contains a viewer that should work regardless of your web browser.

From left to right, the main features are:

Descent

Statistics

We started from the Silver Creek Trailhead at 6:30 AM. It took 2:22:36 to reach the summit of Sunshine. We spent 22:47 at the summit, then spent the next 35:22 traversing the 1.3 mile to the summit of Redcloud Peak. We spent 17:06 there, then ran down in 56:00 (including about 10 min of breaks). The first 1300 vertical feet of descent (to the saddle) took me 13 minutes. Total time was 4:37:26.

Option sections - history of peak, wildlife, route info and alternates, map, gear, food

Might try to include feelings, sounds, smells - other thoughts about life and mountains, goals, etc.
