It was an excellent day to be out. Not to warm, not too cold, a nice breeze rippling the surface of the alpine lakes. And we got there ahead of the crowds. No moose and no hunters, though.

It was an excellent day to be out. I agree. It was good to see you again. Maybe we will see moose the next time you are in CO.

Dang, with a lunch spot like that, I'd rather carry in than carry out.

Our lunch view. That is exactly where I had in my mind when I mentioned IPW. Well done !

Sweet. Looks cold though. The wind made it feel rather cold. But, a warm, windblock jacket was enough.

What is the peak in center page? That ridge looks pretty cool.

I think Paiute is out of view to the far right. My best guess is that it's Pawnee Peak (12,943) in the middle, Little Pawnee Peak (12,466) on the left, and the shoulder of Mount Toll (12,979) on the right. Thanks for bringing me out to the nice, fresh air.
