Emerald Lake is number 3 and our picnic spot for today. Great views of the mountains around the lake and we spotted 3 climbers on the middle of the sheer rock face, rather then than us !!! Dead trees are amazing, the air up here at around 10,000' is so dry they don't rot and are twisted and gnarly. Great wildlife sightings - chipmunks and ground squirrels galore, stellar jays, Clark's nutcrackers and many more birds, Stew's in his element.Read more

Hike to Emerald Lake

Margaret and I went on a guided hike this morning. I group was small, but there were a lot of people on the trail.

Both Margaret and I viewed this 3.6 mile round trip hike with a gain of 700 feet as a trial hike. We have concerns about strength, endurance, sun, and altitude. But we seem to have survived the hike, though it will be tomorrow when our muscles let us know what they thought of the hike.

We have another hike scheduled for Wednesday morning. I don’t think that the altitude is as high, which would be good. But the elevation gain is more and the distance is greater.Read more
