Me and a bud took a day trip hiking up the west side (ridge/moraine) of the White River runoff. Up til about 8.4k where it was snow if we went any further. We didn't gear to go further, so all she wrote. Saw some folks down on the glacier near some cracks, probably practicing. Some pretty accessible crevasses by the time you hit 8k. Not huge but will give you 20+ feet to play with.
In some random-ass act of I have no clue, at about 7.5k we here this buzzing. Look up there is a plane off in the distance, coming ~down~ the mountain. As it got closer, it was clearly electric, very light-weight, twin rotor and I have absolutely no clue if anyone was driving it. It was pretty windy, probably 25-30mph steady with some gusts. I was rather impressed at how stable it was. I think it was a UAV. Because it then went down toward the lodge. The thing traveled a 1-2 miles in only 3-4 minutes and completely out of our sight. I dont know how any human could (like typical RC planes) fly a craft as this one was traveling in that wind and beyond a persons field of vision.
Anyhow, some photo's...
