Strike that - good job ME. Lily basically runs 87 miles a day, whereas I get winded walking from my couch to my front door when the pizza delivery guy knocks (ripped off HIMYM there). I'm just happy I kept up with her/didn't have a heart attack. Here's Lily looking not tired:
Here's me looking mostly dead:
Anyway, the rangers warned us that a section of the trail was mostly impassable due to excessive snow. Didn't stop us! We conquered those snow fields like we were...uh...Lewis and Clark? I don't know what analogy is appropriate there.
We did get lost for about half-mile but we recovered nicely. All told, we hiked around 6 alpine lakes with fun names (Bear Lake, Glacier Lake, Emerald Lake, Lake Haiyana, etc.). Here's Lily at Emerald Lake:
I know, it's not emerald at all. What a ripoff.
Oh and here's an avalanche that wiped away part of the trail. You can see Lily blazing her own trail. What a natural!
And here are just some standard pretty scenery shots:
And here's one of me standing on my head:
(I have no idea how that happened).
If your curious about our route, here's the map. Oh and for the record, yes, we hiked to an elevation of about 10,400 feet.
