A few Mt. Kenya pics


The steep Chagoria route! 

Victorious, on Day 2, overlooking the Gorgeous Valley
Just before sunrise, about 6 a.m., after a 3 hour trek, we reached the summit, Point Lenana, 4985m.  Pure joy.

Zachary, one of the porters, and our driver, negotiating a treacherous dirt road to reach the gate of the park.  We're in a 1960's Land Rover.  We bottomed out and rocked about so much, I felt like I needed a helmet and a harness... the level of skill needed to drive this vehicle is beyond my comprehension.

 

Cast of characters: from left to right it's Nathan, IU peds resident, me, and Laura, IU medical student.
