Cloyse's lake and Ptarmigan Lake

Yesterday we hiked up to Cloyse's Lake, starting at Rockdale (in Clear Creek Canyon a little above Beaver City). We took a few pictures, but we'll let this one of white columbine stand for them all. You probably already know you can click on any of these pictures and see them in huge magnification, probably too big for your screen. We hereby thrust them into the public domain, so you can use this as a background if you want.

The yellow flowers are from today's walk, up to Ptarmigan Lake, and to the pass just above it. These flowers were beside the path at the pass. In the background you can see the rock slopes above the lake with patches of snow still on them.

And the third picture is Susan in her cold-weather clothes at the pass. You can see those flowers in that picture, too. -- G&S
