Fun? Well actually yes, as our trudging got us into the back country where there was smooth snow once we left the part that was parallel to the freeway. The lakes were still frozen, icicles hung from rocks, and except for the need to go on steep side slopes, the going was less hard on the ankles. We walked to some rocks above the east side of Lake Flora and ate lunch. The view was stupendous, our beloved mountains, although somewhat covered in snow, will be hikeable soon.
So we had hiked in a meandering loop about 4.2 miles as we had to circumvent jumping from cliffs in our efforts to find trails we could manage. About a mile as the crow flies. We were exhausted!!
All of us fell. Several times. |
