Looking South

Our campfire smoke hangs over our camp in this view. The way out is by climbing a couple of hundred feet to the ridge beyond the lake.

Snow Bank Across the Lake

Even though it was October, there was a lot of snow on the talus slope on the western side of the lake.

Heading out

After climbing to the ridge, the trail traverses down this big switchback. Above this point the Massie Lake Trail traverses meadows all the way to Buck Creek Pass, but going down a short way from here the trail enters the forest the rest of the way.

Switchback!

This is the first switchback of countless others on the way down. We were in good spirits though - a warm October day, out in the high country, and headed for a burger at the 59'ner Diner on US 2 (What could be Finer!)

Who Put That Rock in My Pack!

Ben, Joel, Paul, Jonah, Alec, and Austin. We all get a laugh when Jonah finds a big rock in his Pack when we were taking a break at the Chiwawa River after our long hike down from the Lake.
