I take another break when I reach the coveted Kelbaker Road summit at about 3800 feet

With no direct views back down to the starting point, and some higher hills nearby, it doesn't look like much of a summit up here. However, I have risen nearly 3000 feet over 22 miles since leaving Baker a few hours ago, and my leg muscles are aware of that.

While munching on another Clif bar, I check out some of the wildflowers I see in the area.
