Our original plan was to start hiking Monday, but we wanted to get an early start that day. The result was that we started Sunday afternoon and camped at Frog Lakes after only a short walk in. The real highlight was having lunch with Grandma Brown in Bridgeport. Then she helped shuttle us over to Virginia Lake so that we could leave a car at the parking lot in Twin Lakes.
The hike was short, but there were some pretty sights along the way, and a few snowy spots in the shade. This old cabin by a prospect was interesting:
We were all in a good mood when we set up camp because we weren't tired. The area was beautiful, and after a dinner of tomatoes, brie and apples, we went for a walk out around the nearest Frog Lake. In the nearby talus a Pika whistled, frogs were singing in the snow-melt inundated meadows, and handsome flowers like this marsh marigold were blooming in the cool evening light:
The restful dusk was bursting with the beauty of the mountains, but of course the prettiest thing I saw hiked up on her own two legs:
