Vanity Lakes, the First Day!
The idea here was to visit all the lakes in this area. Which is what we did! There are about 11 actual lakes in this area,
some which are too shallow to support a fishery, and about 5 that do. But pretty standard-sized fish for these
kind of lakes... 8-11 inches.

By the time we got to the trailhead, the afternoon was well under way. And so we only got as far as lake 8212. There are no 'official' trails in this area, but there are some hiker's trails, which are frequently 'iffy' and come and go at will.

Lake 8212



Hey! Whatcha doin in there??

I never get the idea that Ezra is overly thrilled with all this. But he does the job, sometimes with more than a little reluctance. Has had to be 'taken down' a couple of times now for an 'attitude adjustment, and a reinforcement of 'who's who' in the goatherd.

The cirque above this lake. Was this lake's redeeming feature.



A virtual river flows out from the bottom of this cirque's rockslide.

A small but attractive 'pothole' lake, seen during the evening's 'walkabout'.
