Haystack Hike

Our second 16 hour day hike was to the Haystack Lakes and Haystack Mountain.

Fishing at the lower lake.

As at the Newby Lakes, the upper lake is a jewel.

Starting the climb to the ridge

"Let's go up there!"

Top view of the upper lake

Lower lake with attendant rocky pond. We didn't go to the pond. The ground will likely be marshy around it.

We didn't go up there.

Upper lake with a third, lower lake in view behind it. Another day's exploration.

Hey, is that sky getting darkish?

Up on the ridge...

And on towards the peak.

The topmost knob.

And now we run from the rain.

One last trail marker.
