We used to do a lot of hiking and extended hiking/ camping trips all up through there. Been up from both sides a few times. Amazed me how it takes about 2 1/2 hours to get to the top of Tuck's, then about 4 hours to go the rest of the way through that rock field up top.
Have seen some pretty wild stuff. I remember one spring we were staying in the shelters and this group of kids were in our shelter packed to the gills with skis and gear. Each guy has more stuff than my father brother and I combined. Was amazing they made it up there. My father kept saying it looked like the kids mother had packed for him. Well when dinner rolled around, he broke out his 3 BURNER coleman stove. Things gotta weigh 10 pounds in itself. Well, one of the other kids asked if they had any salt and the kid said" No. My mom forgot to pack it." I laughed so hard I almost peed myself.

I sledded down from the shelters with a 50 pound pack on my back too. I think I set a few land speed records that day.

I love it up there.
