Looking back down

Looking back down the trail toward the resort which is partially visible near the center of the picture.
The tracks in the snow are made by the tourist tractor that carries people to the yurt
two miles up the trail for nightly aurora viewing. Altitude 417 meters.

Yurt

It took 1 hour and 5 minutes to reach the yurt.
It is only a two mile hike but there is quite a bit of uphill climbing and a fair number of stops
along the way to take pictures. Altitude 782 meters.

No tracks in the snow

Charley Dome is another 3/4 mile hike to the South.
There are no tracks in the snow so nobody has been over there in at least a week or more.

Looking West
