Before Dawn
No sleeping in on this trip (Day 3). We rise before dawn and hit the trail just before 5:00AM .
Night Lights
End of Day 2, Mother Nature treated us to the best night light show. There was lighting flashing south of us that lit up the thunderclouds. Then the Milky Way danced overhead as we looked for shooting stars.
Best Seat in the House
This was the best seat in the house. If I could only have this view every day.
Rolling In Fast
This photo is only the 2 shots away from yesterday’s photo. The storm cloud were moving in fast during these shots.
Another Storm Coming
End of the second day and we had the best views. That’s Echo Lake in the distance. Another storm was coming in, we could hear the thunder towards the South.
Massive Juniper
This is the massive juniper tree from yesterday’s photo. I have no idea how old it is. Looking at its crown, I suspect that it’s been hit by lighting.
Sun Through the Juniper
There was a massive old juniper near our campsite. I loved the colors in the tree and the bright green lichen growing on it. I looked up and there was the sun shining through the branches.
Ralston Peak
After arriving at Tamarack Lake and setting up our campsite, I had the chance you go exploring. Here is an old Juniper tree with Ralston Peak in the background.
Echo Lake
Day 2 – After hiking about 8 miles, we ended up at Echo Lake Chalet. You can pay for a ferry to take you across the lake ($12.00 per person) it cuts off about 2 additional miles. The boat cuts across and then passes through this small channel. There are several cabins that dot the lake and some has been around for 3 generations. After docking it was another 2 miles to our next campsite. This is Echo Lake as seen from the trail to Tamarack Lake.
Twisted and Fallen
Just beyond the canyon near Little Round Top, there was there old fallen tree. I thought that all the twisted branches were cool.
