Derek and I had originally planned to hike Gray, Redfield, and Cliff
mountains. Like typical men we changed our minds while enroute. Actually
the dynamics of our hike changed from the previous high peak hike, we
were off to a late start, and snowshoes.
This was the first time this
season snowshoes were needed (required). We opted to make this a
conditioning hike, and down shifted and took a nice walk into Avalanche
and Colden lakes. It was a 10.04 mile round trip hike that offered some
beautiful views.
I made my attempt at capturing this, but nothing
compares to actually standing on the lakes soaking in the views. Our
change of plans diverted us from taking the trail to lake Arnold, and
going straight up to Avalanche lake. This gave us another opportunity to
meet up with some wonderful people. We ran into Inge, Geoff and his
lovely bride Emily. We had a nice chat and found out they were heading
to Marshal.
Last I seen of them Geoff was trying to catch up with the
ladies. It was nice to meet the three of you, and a great day for a
hike.
