http://www.mappery.com/map-of/Lakes-Basin-Recreation-Area-Trail-Map. What is sad is gold lake rd should be closed this time of year or at least the trails not even open for hiking or biking. But it is and nobody is around. We had the place to ourselves. We decided to stay at the Lake Basin Campgroud which is where one of the trailhead starts. It made it nice for leaving the top up, testing the solar panel and just leaving the camper to start hiking. No driving!!
After a great breakfast it was time to start hiking.
Of course this hike served for Murphy's first official hike with the new packs. What do you do when you see snow? You still try and roll in the snow with the packs on, of course
Made just for sitting and contemplating. Me, I was checking out the snow wondering if that was worth a ski.
Mt Elwell makes for a nice hike. The two days were spent just relaxing, hiking, and watching the thunderstorms to the southwest build. The thunderstorms were interesting, because they were moving to the west instead of the east like they usually do. If it was typical thunderstorms we might have gotten wet
All in all it was a great weekend in a beautiful place and the camper passed in flying colors.
Awesome photos!!! Wish we were still there (with the weather from then, not now, of course)!
