We decided to get one last hike in before the clouds and rain returned.
 |
| Green Lake |
 |
| We started here on the Carbon River Trail |
 |
| We were immediately enchanted by the ancient forest |
 |
| After a couple of miles, the road opens up with views of the river and Mother Mountain |
 |
| It was nice to get off the road and onto a real trail |
 |
| Ranger Falls in all its spring glory |
 |
| There was only a little snow as we neared the lake |
 |
| Green Lake, with Arthur Peak to the right and Tolmie Peak in the distance. The logs made a perfect lunch seat. |
 |
| Nurse logs across the trail doing their job |
It was at least ten years since we did this hike and at that time you
could drive to the trailhead. Adding the extra miles to walk to the
trailhead actually seemed like an enhancement on this beautiful spring
day.
Statistics
