In our previous post we briefly outlined the 12-day trip in a couple of pix from each day. Here are a few more of our favorite images from this trip. The lower elevation lakes are more heavily vegatated, with grasses and lillies adding a tanic color to the water:
The “high meadow” plateau gives stunning views of the peaks of the continental divide of the central Winds as you approach:
We had spectacular sunsets every evening:
A very unusual phenomenon, Sandpointe Lake, features a sandy beach:
We found butterflies and moths abounding wherever there remained blooming flowers:
One of our favorite high-altitude flowers, still in bloom are the “Elephantheads,” appropriately named:
Great views of Middle Fork Lake:
Some images taken from passes and saddles overlooking valleys created by the continental divide, or lesser saddles:
A couple of views of Glacier Lake and Mt. Victor:

Photography and Travel, specifically adventure travel and backpacking in remote North America, give me an excuse to stay outside. If kayaks, bikes, backpacks, Jeeps, archeology, geology and wildlife can be included, all the better. Having spent my life working in the fashion and photography industries, I love the unusual, the spectacular, and the beautiful. God has given us a wonderful world in which to live, and I try to open others’ eyes to its wonders. I have shared nearly 50 years of this indescribable wonder with my wife, Jodie, and we go everywhere together. I hope you will share some of our journey with us.
