| Phelps Lake |
We had planned to do the trails from
Lupine Meadow but changed our plan after an invite from a fellow camper. Jen is ex-military and currently with search and rescue in
Grand Canyon. We did the
Death Canyon, passing
Phelps Lake. We saw more marmots, which I can now confirm from my previous post its not a gopher. The hike was really scenic, offering fantastic view of the lake, then the snow-capped mountains and waterfalls. We covered good ground with Jen setting the pace. We turned back after hitting a big patch of snow up a steep trail. Although with proper footwear and hiking poles could get us over, we decided to not proceed.

On the way back, we brewed up a cuppa having brought the brew gear. Our companion was amused that she could get a cup of tea hiking and can't wait to tell her friends! All she had were popcorn, skittles, starburst and cans of V8 and Monster. Here, we had chicken noodle cup-a-soup dipped with bread and tea!

On the way back, we stopped at
Taggart Lake for a quick look since its only a short 3 mile walk.
