Beth and our friend Emily Hatch went on an early Saturday morning hike to nearby Flag Hill. It was a spectacular clear morning, with great views of the snows!
The spot is known as Flag Hill for obvious reasons. There are Buddhist prayer flags draped all over the hillside. It's only about an hour's walk away from our house and it's a great quiet spot to camp or hike.
From the top of the hill, we had a great view of the Garhwal Himalayas. We think the highest peak on the right in the picture below is called Bandarpunch and it's over 20,000 feet high--take that Pike's Peak! Now that we've conquered Flag Hill, Bandarpunch might be the next summit that we cross off the list... we'll keep you updated on our progress!
Dave and Beth
