On the trail. It has a very dry feel to it.
Lake Caroline. The lake had several very nice campsites.
A little bit of blue.
Lake Caroline. It's pretty!
This is Upper Lake Caroline.
We came to this meadow, and at 6700 feet, left the trail to go xc to the summit.
Another view of the meadow at 6700 feet. You can see snow covered Little Annapurna from the Enchantments poking through the mountains on the left of center.
Just leaving the trail.
The frost covered trees, and yellow meadows made for very pretty scenery. It was cold!
Frost covered trees.
There's Little Annapurna again!
Frost, trees, yellow meadow, and fog.

The slope had literaly hundreds of these high altitude lupine, that I really like. Most were not in bloom as this one, but were frosted and pretty nonetheless.

Another shot of the ridge. I wasn't sure which is better.
Saw a few of these. Forgot what they are ?

Another shot of the ridgeline we came from. I think I could have captured this better. It was fun walking along the ridge with the views and exposure.
