Next day, our goal was the top of Little Annapurna - so named for its similarity to a peak in the Himalayas. (It's the rounded one with the snow on it.)
The way up was not a difficult climb, except that you are at 8000 feet and the air is thinner. Near the top, the slope becomes quite gentle.
At the very top are some fantastic rock formations that appear like as if a giant had stacked some flat rocks into rows to use later for flagstones.
How did they get arranged here like this?
Mt. Rainier was far to the south.
I continued on down the other side of Little Annapurna
to a lesser peak which also had very unusual stacks of rocks on it.
My friends continued farther on to Dragontail Peak. Notice that double peak group right in the middle?
They climbed to its top. Some of the rocks there would move under them, so they had to be careful.
