Mosquito Creek
I paid dearly for this picture. Aside from the massive quantities of mosquitoes and horseflies on this hike, I hiked harder than I was in shape for, didn't adequately stretch afterwards, and tore my right calf muscle this morning at home (it was a bit tender on the way down from the hike). I'm going to the doctor tomorrow morning, but I suspect I'm done hiking for the season.
I headed with a couple friends toward Molar Pass to see the wildflowers. Through some inexplicable oversight, we somehow all missed the fork in the trail and headed instead for North Molar Pass: also a beautiful destination, but a longer, steeper hike. We didn't make it all the way to the pass, but we did see some amazing wildflower meadows and mountain views. This shot was taken on the way back, about 3 km from the trailhead.
