Lower Ice Basin

 This hike to lower Ice Basin is probably the hardest hike I have done.  It was 17,000 feet gain and ended at 11,600 feet.  It was well worth the effort.

 Beautiful wildflowers again.

Little Molas Lake to the Colorado Trail

Thursday we hike on the Colorado Trail above the tree line.  The views were amaszing.

Post Creek Hike

 On Wed. we move to Molas Lake.  We will be here for three nights.

 This is the start of the hike up Pass Creek.  These wildflowers are about 4 feet high.

 This is up at the top by Engineer Peak and a sample of the wildflowers.



On the road again

 We have taken the trailer out again and arrived at Haviland Lake on Monday.  This is a picture of the lake at night.  We have a great spot here.

 Tuesday we hiked the Lime Creek trail.  It gets up to 10,700 feet but it is a beautiful trail with lots of wildflowers and waterfalls.

 Getting near the top.

This is where we ate lunch....beautiful.

Happy 4th of July

The girls are checking out the smoke bombs before we went to see the fireworks at the top of the hill at El Conquistador Resort.

Monsoon weather

 The monsoon finally came to us today.  We had over a third of an inch of rain making for a beautiful sunset over our mountains

Greer, AZ

 We left on Monday to pick up the trailer in Payson.  We drove up to Greer to get out of the heat and hike for a couple of days.  This is the West Fork of the Black River.  Even though there is some fire damage in the area it was a beautiful hike.

 The wild iris's were blooming everywhere.

 Here we are at the top of East Baldy trail and Big Lake in the background.  Hiking at 10,000 feet is a lot of work.

This was Thursday's hike up West Baldy Trail #94.  I think that those are wild snapdragons.
