High Mountain Lake

Knowing Sunday was going to be a scorching, hot one, I headed up into the mountains. This meadow is 2 miles in and provides a great view.The jagged peak in the upper left corner is where I'm headed.

2 miles later. My great pal Rob will recognize this as the "torrent water crossing". It may not look bad, but in past trips up, this stream has been almost impassible.
2 miles up from that! This is a beautiful, West Slope Cutthroat Trout.

Aside from the sow, black bear and two tiny cubs,( and 2 million mosquitoes) I shared this lake with no one.

The water was crystal clear and the big fish roamed the water like schools of sharks.
