Idaho Exposure

Hiking, Climbing, Backpacking, Snowshoeing, Backcountry Skiing. Photos by Thomas Oetzell; idahoexposure.com

I am pleasantly surprised!  I arrive at the high point of the loop overlooking Mount Regan above Sawtooth Lake, sooner than expected.  The trail takes a circuitous route to this pass, often crossing large sections of snow unnecessarily.  Having done it several times, I find it is much easier and faster to head up to the saddle without trying to keep track of the often buried trail.  For years, I did not post photos from this fabulous perspective.  It is a well deserved reward for those who make the effort!
