Granite Lakes 7/19/2022

Upper Granite Lake

Today I hiked up to Granite Lakes. This is a nice hike, a bit under 9 miles, about 2,400 feet of elevation gain. I saw only two people on the way up, perhaps a half dozen on the way down.

The lakes look up to several peaks, including Dirty Harry’s Peak:

There are a couple of view points looking north on the way up. Here is Russian Butte:

Sometimes the sun and the forest come together to create a magical experience. The camera does not do it justice but every moment like this is special:
