The Hike Itself
One of many waterfalls we saw during this week |
|
One of many shady and beautiful glens we passed by |
Chowing down |
More shade... and more chow |
|
Flowers & Trees lack the moxie to know that a crack in the rock is no place to set up housekeeping |
One of the many, many streams in this area |
Leaving Low Pass Lake on the way over Low Pass into the Spangle/Ingeborg Lakes basin |
|
One of the prettier of the many pothole lakes present in this area |
|
Hey! What's all the racket up there? |
|
Talk about water out of the rock! |
|
I am always fascinated by the number and magnitude of the small car-sized rocks that occuring in these areas |
|
Another shady glen on the way back from Everly Lake |
My hiking partner and I love to haul out the topo and take the cross-country route to places. In this case, since the trail went waaaaay down just so it could go waaaay back up again, following the 8200 ft contour line seemed like a good plan. It was. |
One of many camps we had to set up that week |
|
Not only was I fascinated by these giant rocks, I thought that this was one of the most idyllic camp spots I have seen |
|
A no-name lake on the way to Spangle from Ingeborg |
|
I thought that this cone to the east of Little Spangle was every bit as symmetrical as the famed Fuji |
Hey, you! Get offa my cloud! |
My partner and I were in awe of some of the incredible granite formations in the Sawtooths |
|
On the first night out, this served as a camp spot. Not only were the goats showing signs of packing it in, but so was the daylight! |
