I’ve been waiting for the snow to clear at the ever so appropriately named Snow Lake so I could hike there. I arrived at the parking lot and was about the two hundredth car there and that was on a Thursday.
But because of the snow on the trail and steep drop offs, I decided not to hike down. On my way out, I ran into mountain search and rescue who were coming up to help some people who disagreed with my assessment. So I worked my way back cross country, still running into a lot of snow, but not the steep dangerous kind. Here is a waterfall where I have pictures of friends and family cooling off on a warm summer day, but that is when there is no snow and a lot less water.
But since there was all of that snow, there were also some great waterfalls. I counted seven coming down the cliffs just above source lake. You can also cool off by standing at the base of a waterfall and looking up to photograph it, but be very selective in the water falls that you choose.
Looking out over the Alpental Valley, the water falls are at my back, you can see Adam’s condominium. It is the white dot in the center of the picture.
And I am constantly amazed that as soon as the snow gives an inch, the flowers start colonizing.
