The mountains look even more spectacular as we approach from the north.  They rise up from low rolling tundra to knife powerfully into the sky.  Clear blues sky, puffy clouds and the play of light and shadows make the images even more vivid.  It did rain again today off and on but we are getting used to that!

We climbed back through the heavy construction.  It seemed a bit less painful today.  The motorhome is pretty scummy but it is nothing compared to the pilot car (pickup) we followed.  The driver actually took a hammer and beat the mud from under the fenders and the running boards.
