ice lake

I saw Alan's The Path Inside https://focalworld.com/threads/the-path-inside.13907/ and thought I can do a little twist on it, my apologies Alan. :) This is from my backpacking trip up to Ice Lake Basin in SW Colorado a month ago. This is on the trail to Island Lake. Once I hit about 12,000 feet...

Just 5 hours earlier my tent was covered in hail and the ground was covered in an inch of it, so much so that it looked like snow, so I made a snow man. But it melted fast and by the time the stars came out, there was no sign left from that sudden and unexpected storm. This is up at Ice Lake...

This is my home away from home. Every year I make it a point to visit Ice Lake! This is looking back down in the basin from the top. CC always welcome!
