We woke up at 8:30; some in the lean-to, quincy, or tent. There were six girls sleeping in the quincy (snow shelter): Luisa, Alexa, Sara, Lulu, Madison, and Amelia, three girls in the lean-to: Livi, Kennedi, and Nikoo (as well as Tree, our counselor), and the teachers were in a tent. The weather was not the most enjoyable but the girls were as prepared as they could be. They all made oatmeal for breakfast and broke down camp before hiking to the summit. We hiked .3 miles to the summit and enjoyed the surreal scenery and then went back down to the camp to grab our packs. From the camp we hiked to the loop trail back to the van on a very steep trail. There were lots of icy spots but as a group we made it past them and worked together to help each other. When we got to the van we had a quick pizza lunch before going back to Pok-O-MacCready.

After a quick lunch of lunchable style pizzas, the girls were ready to get back to camp. They were excited to have more than 3 hours to shower, relax, and take long naps before dinner.

Finally moments in the sleeping bags before facing the cold morning.
Campsite is still quiet while Tree prepares hot water for breakfast.
