We rode bikes from Camaron Pass on the Michigan ditch road 2.5 miles then ditched the bikes and hiked 2 miles up to the lakes. The flowers were incredible.
Creek crossing with blue chiming bells and yellow senecio. Lia, Gary and Mandy in waist deep flowers.
Approaching tree line with Noku Crags on the skyline. A mama and baby moose. Mandy took the baby photo, she has a better camera.
Flowers on the trail. Gary and John G brought up champagne for our lunch. John with a bottle.
Snow lake is in the upper cirque above the lower lakes. Seniceo, delphinuium, and hemlock flowers, Rams horn lousewort, amanita mushroom, and stone crop.
The group lunch toasting to me taking a photo. Lia, John G, Gary, Mandy and John M. Mandy outstanding in her field of flowers.
View back the way we came. The fields of flowers were amazing.
More amazing fields of flowers.
A red bistort-they are usually white, queens crown, rosy paintbrush, and a gentian. Elephant heads, delphiniums, senecio and paintbrush, moose antlers ahead, hemlock, delphinium and senecio in a creek bed and a deer in John and Mandy's backyard. Mandy served us a delicious dinner after our hike.
A field of elephant heads, another field of flowers.
View on the way down. Flowers along a creek bed.
John, Gary and Lia crossing the creek bed. We saw we think 13 moose on this trip. These two guys were right beside the trail. We bushwhacked around them, but we were way too close to them.They are big and mean, but they were more interested in eating than us.
Two photos of the same mooses, one walking across the meadow and then in the bushes. John and John walking through chiming bells and senecio.
Loading up 4 bikes on a bike rack meant for two. Gary and Lia rode on a tandem bike they called the mothership.
