Geehi/Khancoban Area - 5 July 2009

Poor snow quality, soreness and a strained groin kept us away from skiing today. Instead we took in a few of the sights on the western side of the range. What was suppossed to be a quick detour to check out the view ended up turning into a full day of driving. Here are some of the sights we took in.
