Great pics SG - glad you had a good trip

WOW those are great pictures. What camera did you use?? Was it difficult to breath?

Nice pics SG. Was there myself a couple years ago, very beautiful.

SG I'm with Jay, love the pics but where's the X amist all that beauty?

That's serious height!

Nice pics! Is the only way up by cograil train? Are you allowed to drive up?

re: high altitude breathing - extended stays at ~5000+ft, your body will adjust. you will experience tiredness and possibly an achy chest as you adjust to thinner air(ie less oxygen per breath) (it took me 3 weeks initially to adjust to 4800ft Idaho where I live, acouple days now coming back from long stays on the east coast) - above 10,000ft effects start magnifying, especially for long periods (I think airlines pressurize the cabins to 8,000ft) - at 15,000ft you start doing really stupid things (like you don't already at sealevel?!?:tsk: ) before you eventually passout from oxygen deprevation - more or less the same effect as being drunk out of your gourd so you really don't have to climb to 15,000+ft to experience what it is like:D

Canon SD550. I got a pretty good buzz at the top, no kidding!

nice pics GFet!

Yes you can drive up, it's like 12 miles. The record to the top in a 2 engine AWD celica was something like 10 minutes believe it or not.

Nice pics... Now I don't need to go and waste $19...
