this weekend i finally hiked over Shangri-La, the far superior bushwacking way to get to Iceberg Lake. my friends and i climbed a runoff up the shoulder of Mt. Wilbur, to alpine meadows and Shangri-la Lake (and also a massive grizzly bear). after one more section of uphill, there is a goattrail across the scree field over Iceberg Lake and the most beautiful view of the Ptarmigan wall imaginable. skied down the scree field, slid down a snowfield on my ass, drank some whiskey, jumped in the lake, hiked home on the trail. i love having a backyard full of trailheads.
