Above are a couple panoramic shots from the top of Slate Peak taken with my fancy-pants Samsung Galaxy S III phone. (Of which, frankly, I don't feel worthy.) In the top photo, Brian Ecker, who made it to the 7,488-foot summit some 40 minutes before me, sits in the sun protected from the wind by that small building. Though it was 70 degrees down in Mazama where we started, at the top of Slate--which is 5,500 feet higher--it was 46 degrees!

| Heading out. Our start/finish point was on Lost River Road, across the street from the Mazama Store. |
This was at the start of the lower narrow, scary section. This Harley dude appeared to be considering heading up but thought better of it and stopped.
Such an amazing ride!
Good luck to everyone riding tomorrow's Mount Baker Hill Climb (Ride 542) and High Pass Challenge!
Nice!
