A thin morning light slices between spruce and subalpine fir as the guide checks the small group and the trail ahead. The path climbs in easy switchbacks, then opens to a ridge where jagged peaks push at the sky and a glacial lake holds a cold, steady shine. The air carries pine resin and distant river song; the landscape dares you to move quietly and look harder.
