Valley Creek Lakes!

Near Basin Butte Lookout, the beginning of the hike	A pretty good look at the devastation caused by this and other Idaho fires
The White Cloud Mountains in the distance	The lovely mountains transformed by fire
We had our own private Spring, and George adopted it as his own	The larger of the two Valley Creek Lakes, and the campsite for night #1
The larger lake in the morning	Hiking partner hoofing it up and out of this basin. She's amazing!

The lower of the Valley Creek Lakes. Doesn't fire create a pretty landscape?
