Saw a single elk and I also saw some of my skin ripped off as I fell in the river.
We both had large blisters before getting back to the car, it was worth it, barely.
The 3 lakes and 2 waterfalls made for some great scenery.
We hiked (and slid) on a lot of remaining snow, we can't believe it's nearly August.
Hope you enjoy the pics below.
Time to sleep...and heal.
SPIDER MAN HAD AN ACCIDENT
WE WERE ABOUT 15 FEET FROM THIS ELK BEFORE SHE CROSSED THE WATER AND HEADED DOWN THE TRAIL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
THE FLAT LEFT EDGE OF THE SNOW IS THE TRAIL...
STOPPED TO HAVE LUNCH BY THIS WATERFALL.
YES THAT IS SNOW....IN LATE JULY!
ON THE AWAY DOWN, I TRIED TO 'SKI' BUT LOST MY BALANCE AND ENDED UP BUTT SLIDING ALMOST INTO THE RIVER. I WAS ABLE TO DIG MY HEELS IN AND GRAB A ROCK BEFORE FALLING 5FT ONTO ROCKS STICKING OUT OF THE RIVER.
JULIE SAYS IT'S EASIER (AND MORE FUN) TO SLIDE DOWN THE SNOW THAN IT IS TO WALK.
MORE SLIDING FUN.
