This was a nice getaway, spending time with a good friend, and meeting two new friends. We climbed about 3 miles from an elevation of 7,500 feet to over 9,000 feet in just under 3 hours.
The hike up to the lake meanders through ferns and granite rock slabs, sprinkled with giant cedar trees.
It was a decent climb, so at times we had to slow down a bit as we pushed through the switchbacks in the steeper part of the hike. But we enjoyed a few wild flowers, and had plenty of shade to make the hike very enjoyable.One of my goals was to get a few good black and white images, so here is one of the iPhone images converted. Check back later for a some medium format B&W scans.
