the journey began
with a two boat
two lake ride
with a hike in between lakes
that took me deeper into the mountains before i began my hike
climbed high above Grinnell Lake
the gorgeous glacial lake above
(actually there are three lakes in the photo)
up up up
past waterfalls:
to
Upper Grinnell Lake:
a lake with summer icebergs
found this gorgeous critter:
here are the icebergs
(sorry, I was shooting into the sun):
the rocks along the trail
were colorful
rich in movement and design made by glaciers
a hike that I certainly recommend

hello Lynne,
Deleteit was such a beautiful four days
the weather was right and i hit the road
since the snow has come to the high mountains, might melt some or all of it
but that was a perfect window to wander and explore
Montucky told me in the comments that the chipmunk looking critter is a Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel. I had never seen or heard of one before.
Wow what a hike and such a beautiful blue lake, you're certainly making the most of these Summer days!
ReplyDeleteSo stunning! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMaravillosa excursión Tammie!
ReplyDeleteOjalá yo pudiera hacerla.
Buenas fotos amiga!
Besos!
