Day 3 of 2020 Idaho Trip, Chocolate Gulch

July 18, 2020

Third day of my Idaho trip. After a heroic hike to summit Hyndman Peak the previous day, I spent most of the day resting in bed. To make sure that's not how I "wasted" an entire day of my vacation, I took a short hike of Chocolate Gulch at the end of the day.

Day 2 of 2020 Idaho Trip, Hyndman Peak

July 17, 2020

Second day of my Idaho trip. I planned to summit Hyndman Peak. At an elevation of 3660m, it's the tallest of Pioneer Mountains. Rated as class 2, it’s one of the easiest 12'ers of the state. Unfortunately, my badly-picked outfit added quite some difficulty and misery to my trip.
