Jane Marie Johnson led the cross country loop trek across the alpine tundra up to McMillan Peak at an elevation of 12,804'. The loop was approximately 5.2 miles and 1600' of elevation gain. It was a beautiful day to be hiking in the San Juan Mountains. The Sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, the ice fields still melting and the 360 degree views didn't disappoint. In the morning, we had the added display of the dancing clouds that put on a show of their own.
