We hiked to Catherine's Pass from the Albion basin side (Alta, UT). That was 1.4mi. We then hiked to Sunset Pass, another 0.3mi. We finished off at Sunset Peak, UT, elev 10,648'. Nice place. When heading back down we found moose prints in the sand on the trail crossing the bowl between Sunset and Catherine's pass. We saw no moose. Once back at Catherine's pass we met a couple with 4 young girls. The mom offered us home made zucchini bread and peanut butter cookies. Nice. We spent about 3 1/2 hours wandering about this afternoon. It was perfect, about 47 degrees, clear, with a moderate wind. It was pretty quiet on the peak. I carried the 5d3, 300/2.8 w 1.4tc, a 16-35/2.8, tripod, cable release, and Wimberley Sidekick for good measure. Two mountain blue birds almost obliged, but then didn't. Ethan said carrying all the extra weight was good conditioning...
