Gem Lake
All packed and ready to go on a 4-day backpack. Woke up at 3am and really wasn't feeling it. So, we nixed the trip. But, rather than give up entirely on being in the mountains, we went for a long day hike instead. Years ago I was up there early season during the week with a friend, but Robert has never been because you don't go there on busy weekends, and he was always working weekdays. So Snow and Gem Lakes popped into my head. Good thing we bailed on the backpack because I was sick most of the day, but still it was great to get out.
Shot in the afternoon as the clouds were rolling in.
