Elbrus Expedition Dispatch

It was a rainy day, but we enjoyed our first chance to walk up to the glacier to stretch our legs and feel the mountain air.

We paused for a group photo at our high point for the day. Today was a great beginning for our week in the mountains.

Heading back down the trail. Saunas and dinner await us at the lodge!
