Went back to Snow Lake to see if it had finally melted out enough to get down to the lake. It had, but everything was just recovering from the heavy snow cover and was looking anemic. The picture below is actually a little tarn above snow lake. Snow Lake is one of the most heavily used trails in the state. There will be 800 to 1000 people there on a week end, but I usually get this tarn to myself on the account of it being 200 feet off to the side of the trail.
I did find a great little stream that was gurgling along making brook sounds and bubbling.
The only plants that had started to bloom were the bear grass, but in another four weeks it should look pretty good. It’ll be just in time for the winter cold snap. It’s tough on flowers, but great for those of us happy to see the bugs go.
A gentle stroll up to the ridge and a pleasant walk out to the car. I didn’t take any additional pictures because at last count, I had 764 pictures of Snow, Gem Lakes and I didn’t need any more mediocre shots of it. But I did like the little brook.
