It's definitely one of the more scenic trails in the area, for sure. <br /><br />Hi Page - thank you so much for dropping by and commenting :). I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. The high altitude lakes in the San Juans are really something else, aren't they? Never easy to get to, but well worth the time.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-19362415944561768642011-08-09T17:44:22.035-04:002011-08-09T17:44:22.035-04:00Casey - thanks; I'm glad you enjoy the photos ...Casey - thanks; I'm glad you enjoy the photos - I do the best I can with lighting conditions and hand-held shots on these hikes. Engineer is actually just a wee bit under 13K - ~12,900. Non-technical climb with some serious exposure, though. <br /><br />Hi Cindy - I got some most excellent photos for painting references, which is always a bonus on these hikes. Hiking in the San Juans during monsoon season is always adventure, for sure :).<br /><br />Dan - I scored many other photos I didn't post of great reference material. And, as always, I was thinking on the hike: "Dan would love this!"Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-78420101621459448092011-08-08T11:59:28.175-04:002011-08-08T11:59:28.175-04:00Crater Lake is such a mystical place and you'v...Crater Lake is such a mystical place and you've captured that!Page Clothier/A Velvet Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079763493816385936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-44894696476989530212011-08-07T11:44:38.148-04:002011-08-07T11:44:38.148-04:00We took a friend on that ride for her birthday a f...We took a friend on that ride for her birthday a few years ago. It clouded up and then snowed on us (mid-Sept). We had to start a campfire to warm up as we had lunch. Such a gorgeous trail, though, it is worth it.Xebechehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018198670178360250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-26883095586125648832011-08-07T08:11:40.169-04:002011-08-07T08:11:40.169-04:00Amazing cloud photos!Amazing cloud photos!LeAnnhttp://pasqueflowerponderings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-16515944164074748062011-08-06T20:09:09.781-04:002011-08-06T20:09:09.781-04:00Looks like a day well spent.
