Heading down the very nice trail through the woods, with our big packs on.
Pretty meadows full of wildflowers along the way.
Tiffany, Cindy, Christi, Mimi.
Almost to summerland.
We stop at a large rock, big enough for the five of us, on the way, and have lunch.
And stay for two hours!! We all end up getting a nice nap in the sun.
Time to go though.
The bridge that was barely hanging on last year is gone.. Here is the river crossing.
We head to our cross country camp, along boulder fields, and a snow field.
We've found our home for the night! What an awesome view!!!
Tiffany really likes it. If only it was the view from her bedroom window.
Cindy enjoying the view.
Cindy and Tiffany. Don't step backwards!
High altitude lupine.
This is what the flower looks like close up.
Mimi sets up her bivy for the night. This shelter is for her things, while she sleeps under the stars.
My tent.
Our campsite from above.
And our kitchen.
We had the best dinner!! Thank you Cindy!!!
There is point 7422 in the background, that we end up going up the next day.
No trees, so we dig a hole in the snow to store our food.
Bedtime for Mimi.
She looks comfy.
Tiffany looks comfy too.
Up for breakfast in the morning.
Tiffany coming over to the kitchen in the morning.

Cindy's up!
Mimi doens't want to get up.
Another tent shot.
Both of our tents.
Gorgeous meadows all around us.
Mimi brought eggs in a nalgene bottle for omelets!
Pretty high altitude lupin.
We head down to look for the lake.
You can see our camp in the background.
No trail to the lake ~ we head through the woods.
Phlox.
Whole meadow of phlox.
We see the lake!
Oh my gosh, it's beautiful!
And clear.
