As I was riding the coal powered steam train up to Elk Park I was checking the weather and it didn't look good. NOAA was predicting 70% chance of precipitation and a chance of snow. Luckily NOAA doesn't always get it right! We ended up summiting Vestal Peak and Arrow Peak with great weather the whole time. Beautiful weather, fun people, and great surroundings made for an amazing 3 days in the Weminuche Wilderness.
