Another Hike to Camp Lake

We headed up 108 again today to try another hike, but, alas, still snow at the Gianelli Trailhead! Because of that, I took Karen and Leah to Camp Lake, where Justin and I hiked last week. Just to Camp Lake and back is 5 miles round trip. The snow had went down more since we went last week. I did enjoy new wildflowers on the way to Camp Lake, though I didn't enjoy seeing a baby snake in the water. Overall, it's good exercise, though not my favorite hike to do a second time. Still, here's a few pics:

Giant rocks strewn across the forest floor

























This dying tree just shows that all seasons of life are beautiful!

At the narrow camp lake. The snake slid into the water right below them. It was small though... but still a snake! We headed back pretty quickly after that...

























And that's a day in the Emigrant Wilderness!
