Lake Lillian
An old jpeg from our first really big (and sometimes harrowing) x-country adventure in the Olympics back in late July, 2005 ... the Cameron Ridge traverse. We started at Obstruction Point, spent the first night at Gladys Lake in upper Grand Valley, climbed over Low Pass (just out of the picture on the top right), dropped steeply on scree into the Lillian River drainage, and then navigated our way up to Lake Lillian for the night. Next day we scrambled over talus up to the shoulder of McCartney Peak (as seen here looking down at Lillian), traversed high along the ridge past beautiful lakes and tarns thru fields of wildflowers and across steep slopes to Cameron Pass. We went on to upper Lost Basin for 2 nights, then back out and over Cameron pass, down along Cameron river to the junction with Grand Pass, up and over to Gladys Lake again for the night, then out to the car. What a blast!
