"It was a beatiful afternoon indeed. Winter is certainly more reliable than summer around here when it comes to the weather in the city. But today, for example, we got denied by low visibility (less than 3 miles) anyways. Waited for a couple of hours in PAO but decided to quit after the clouds had dissipated but visibility dropped down to 2.5 miles."

"Omg what a Bay tour! Winter seems a much better time to fly over the City than summer."

"... says the guy who hiked the whole thing is sandals :)"

"It's clouds + snow"

"Ya, all the clouds make it look hard core :)"

"picture is worth a thousand words. It does look impressive"

"Why so much snow? it doesn't look like you're very high in mountains."

"you two look very cute"

"Right, that's how we lost the trail :)"

"Hmm, looking at the map, "West" seems to be word we're looking for. But it felt like North to me at the time :)"

"AFAIU these heights do not have snow on a good summer. Year-round snow every year starts at around 7500ft in WA North Cascades (on this photo that would be the ridge in the background)"

"Hmm this looks more like southern view to me?"

"Oh, I see it here now. I was looking in album slideshow mode before."
