We've come up in elevation and continue along the trail you see in this photograph. We are excited to see the huge sweeping valley that lies on the other side.

The tunnel is near the top and was cut through 250 feet of rock in 1930. You can find more information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptarmigan_Tunnels

Looking back the way we came. The clouds are getting thicker, but fortunately we have avoided all grizzly encounters.
