So much for an early start on this hike - these folks were heading back to the corral, just as I was starting out!
4 miles and 2400' gain takes you to a set of beautiful lakes and ponds - and the hike there ain't half bad either!
One of my favorite wildflowers - larkspur.
The first lake you pass by on the trail.
And a pond on the other side, with neat reflections.
Nice mountain setting, eh?!
Folks fishing at the main lake.
Another perfect CO summer day...
P. Lake, in all its glory.
And Mr. Marmot, in all of his!!
And Squirrel Woman, in hers!
A look over the ridge - more on this later. You can drive up the M. Basin road and access P. Lake from this other side. But that's for another day...
Pretty flowers - and pretty pollinator.
Gorgeous flower field.
A flutter by.
The stuff that dreams are made of (at least mine). Can you hear the sound of music yet?
More paintbrush - such pretty colors.
And columbine.
And a big patch of lousewort.
Maybe fleabane...?
Just can't get enough of my larkspur!! Aren't they gorgeous?
