Some rough stuff ahead

Arrived, but where are the lakes?

*
Aha!  Lake #1

* *

It's easily the biggest of the bunch

*
Those guys with the white labrador passed us on the trail

*
Lake #2 is just a couple of feet lower

*
On the far mountain is a ski lift terminus

*
Lake #3

*
Nice reflection from the lunch counter

*
This one is my favorite

*
Been there, and will be there again

*
The duckies like Lake #3

*
A mellow place

*
This one doesn't count

*

*
This bonus pond is on the map

*
Bypassing Lake #4 over there

*
Lake #5

*
The lollypop loop ends near here

*
Smooth Blue Aster *
Waxy Checkerbloom

*
Starting down.  That's KT-22 up there

Interesting

The gang is all here
