Up at high altitude everything seems a little brighter, quieter, and a lot closer. Especially the clouds...
... add to that a red tailed hawk surfing the winds...
... and you get one incredible show...
... or show off that is.
This delightful hawk stayed with us all throughout our hike, circling above, calling out to let us know he was there, and wasn't at all shy about showing off his wingspan...
