The first open view of the middle lake
John walks along the trail above the middle lake
Another nice slope of flowers
Looking back
at the middle lake's inlet
Looking back to the pass and the basin in which
the upper lake sits
The point on the right is where the lower lake comes
into view for the first time . . .
. . . and it will blow you away!
A wider view
Walking through a brief section of forest before
being out in the open again
Another nice section of trail
Right as I was taking this shot, a loud thunder
filled the area. Packed up as quickly as I could and we headed down. You
can see the lake getting peppered with raindrops, though it wasn't raining
on us at the time.
Though you can't see it here, the
rain is just pouring down and we park under a tree for awhile a couple
hundred feet away from the lower lake's shore
Another shot
on the run, and in the light but steady rain, a ways further down the
trail is this waterfall
We're in the
heart of the storm. This is looking towards the trailhead to the north-northwest
Looking up at Mt. Sneffels
Exiting the wilderness a ways above the trailhead
Making it back to the trailhead
The end
