Hannegan Pass Trailblazer hike

17 Trailblazers started today's hike in a little bit chillier weather than we've been used to. The temperature soon warmed up and the day turned out glorious.
We originally split up into 2 groups, but that eventually settled into 3 separate groups. These were dictated by the speed of the hikers. 
Hannegan Pass never fails to disappoint, with it's great views up Ruth creek and on to Ruth Mountain.
Some of our group hiked quickly to the pass for lunch, some stopped at the Hannegan camp. The group I was in continued at a more moderate pace on up to the pass. We arrived there just as the faster group was gathering the head back down. I think the arrangement of the day worked out for everyone. 
Here are some of my favorite pictures of the day -
