Today's Photo

Sunrise at Joe Lake

It's nice, when you're camping in a scenic spot, to get out before sunrise and take a few pictures. The clouds came in just as the sun rose, so I didn't get exactly what I was expecting. It was still worthwhile. These were from Sunday morning, last week.

Sightings

We didn't see any large and impressive creatures on this hike, but there were a few small things...





You all wanted to see that, didn't you?



Joe Lake Hike: Day Two

First Day on the Trail

Our first day on the trail to Joe Lake started with a walk beside Ewart Creek.



From there, we climbed up the South Slopes, where we stayed in the cabin for the night.











Less than halfway there, but the worst climbing is over. To be continued.
