crater  

8/13

crater lakes

this is a couple of many great lil lakes at 11,000 feet above sea level in this area. lots of people camp at the lower lake, but we had the upper one to ourselves. this is a hike i did with uncle jim, a pro hiker from back east.


 
 


these hikes are all about following the water as far as you can


coming down the mountain


this is looking down to the lower lake. if you had xray vision, you would see the train tunnel under here


the lower lake again and beyond


this was the edge of the upper lake, ready to take that plunge you saw above


its a great spot to end up


upper lake down low


thats the continential divide up there. this waters going to the atlantic


on the way back down, the moss was looking trippy
