I mentioned in Saturday's post how I shot an elopement that required us to hike up a treacherously slippery trail to get to the exact perfect spot for the ceremony. On the way back down, I took these pictures of people running on the same slippery trail. RUNNING. This is a flat stretch, but for the most part Section 16 is at an incline. I think these people are just insane! As I was having an extremely hard time that day keeping my footing even at a very slow, careful pace, I couldn't figure out how the trail wasn't littered with the bodies of all the runners we saw. It wasn't until I got these pictures up on my computer monitor and took a close look at their feet that I noticed they were all wearing chains on their shoes for extra traction. I should have done the same!

The same sort of devices are common on shoes here, and you particularly see the evidence in tracks in freshly fallen snow.
