As we were heading up the hill through the brush I gazed across at Beaverdam and realized it was our fifth day of hiking out of seven. |
 |
Wildflower season is in full swing. It's a little early up here above 7000', but still enjoyable. The way things are going with this fishing and relaxing stuff, I'm going to have to start identifying plants (sound of my wife cheering in the background). |
 |
Cly #1. Pretty little hanging lake. We didn't fish here, but reports are that there are fish in it. Today, just cool cloud reflections. |
 |
We'll be up there, but it takes a couple hours. |
 |
Cly #2. Fish on. And more cool reflections. I love the filtered reflections over the underwater rock. |
 |
We ran into a couple at the apex of Cly 3 and Cly 4, our only people sighting during our hike. After lazing/picnicking/fishing at "Tom's Corner" on Cly #4, it was time to do some photos and then head for Tsum. |
 |
Cly #5 with The Beast. Pretty shallow. No fish here. |
 |
Tsum Peak with Tsum Lake barely visible. If you visit the link for the peak, you'll find a shot of the lake looking down from the summit. From up here, the gin-clear water makes the lake look shallow. But it's really very, very deep. |
 |
| A taller perspective, this time with Ruby. |  |
| Looking toward the outlet. Now you can tell there is some depth to it. |  |
Yes, there are fish. After wondering why we were doing all this sitting around today instead of bagging peaks, Ruby was enthralled by that wiggly thing. Smells like cat food. |
 |
Too bad the scenery wasn't better. |
 |
Yeah, it's pretty horrendous. Even more horrendous to get to it. |
