Alpine Gentian (Gentiana newberryi) a/k/a Newberry's Gentian. Round Top Lake. Mokelumne Wilderness. Eldorado National Forest. Alpine Co., Calif.
This was about the best discovery of the walk. There where lots of those cute tiny newts in the puddle. Unfortunately, the water was not so clean / Am meisten haben uns die putzigen kleinen Molche gefreut. Ich habe nie zuvor einen wilden Molch getroffen. Leider war das Wasser nicht total klar
My wife and I got our "duffs up the bluff" in La Crosse, and on the way down we stopped for a burger and beer at the Alpine Inn. We were on our way back from a wedding in Madison, and decided to take a short spin around LaCrosse. Going down Main St., we could see a huge bluff straight ahead, so we just kept going.
I took some pictures, but it's gonna be a while before I get to them.
Alpine Lakes Loop (2.7 miles r/t):
This nice loop links two sub-alpine lakes, Teresa Lake and Stella Lake. Due to the altitude these are fairly close to the treeline, which has the nice effect of making the greenery near the lakes stand out against the bare alpine backdrop. Teresa Lake has good views of Wheeler Peak, while Stella Lake has a gorgeous flower lined, meandering stream feeding it. Both are great places to relax under a tree by the water, which is appreciated at 10,000 feet. This trail is easily combined with the Bristlecone trail, and shaves a good mile off of the combined distance.

I'm incredibly crap at posting pictures regularly, I am aware of this fact, please stop telling me. Here are some photos from Switzerland I shot whilst on the film "A Road Apart" (Dir: Olivier Kaempfer), I may get around to finishing the photos from the USA some day.
This Yellow Wonder Alpine Strawberry seedling is still holding onto its seed. Its true leaves are forming and will pop any day now! This seedling is about 5.5mm tall.
