Imogene Lake at sunrise
Breaking down camp and drying stuff before packing it up.
On our way up to the pass, we broke out of the trees and there was our wall. Fortunately, we would stay in the shade the entire climb.
Edith Lake - there was some camping around this lake, but they did not look very appealing.
Edith Lake - just an awesome blue color surrounded by all the bleached rock.
Unnamed Lake where we stopped to take a five minute break.
Toxaway Lake - we would never really get close to the shoreline so most pictures are obscured.
Toxaway Lake - notice the bowl above the lake. Wonder if there is a lake up there during the snow melt.
Before we start our climb to the last pass we stopped and had lunch at an outcropping. This was the view of Toxaway Lake.
As we begin the ascent up to the pass, we crossed this small creek that emptied into Toxaway.
Up on the pass looking down the valley that we just ascended. This was another set of unnamed lakes.
On the pass looking down on Twin Lakes and Alice Lake (back left side)
Switching sides on the pass, background is the valley we just ascended.
Looking at the mountain range that holds Twin Lakes in its place.
You will end up seeing quite a few pictures of these peaks. This was the most scenic part of the trip.
Interesting picture of the landscape with the mountain range in the background.
This peak had an interesting shape to it where you can tell where the snow melt runs off to the side.
The valley curves off to the left and will lead us to the trail head tomorrow. About 6 miles from Alice Lake.
The trail side hills almost all the way down to the lakes.
This was the last turn in the switchbacks up to the pass. Come around this corner and you get a picture window of the other side.
Looking out over the lakes before heading down.
Came across another buck using the trails to get around.
Twin Lakes - looking up at the pass we just came down (middle of the picture)
Campsite 5 - wash and hang clothes. The shirts would dry within an hour after being washed in the lake.
Sawtooth version of El Capitan over looking Alice Lake
From our campsite we had this awesome view of the islands within Alice Lake and the mountain range.
Another picture to try and capture how awesome the water was in these lakes.
