Boys Trip 2009 - Beartooth Range - Part Four

The next morning...





The rainbow only stuck around for a couple of minutes, and there were only three of us up to see it, I think. Very nice.



Not long after, we saw these: Mammatus clouds, which Greg was happy to inform us is named after the latin term for breast...

Oh man, too many good photos coming up. Relax and enjoy a few, without commentary here:









In the last two, we're hiking off-trail away from our camp to join up with the main trail...



Right near the Continental Divide.



We had to climb up a little hill to get over 10,000 feet and take a group photo.



We then spent an hour or so hiking past Fossil Lake, a big sprawling lake that was highly recommended by the guides. Decided not to camp there, and started back downhill a little.



Had to take shoes and boots off for a stream crossing...

And eventually found a great camp on a lake that was labeled Dewey or Denney Lake, depending on which map we looked at.



Oh, this was my birthday, too, so we had a little toast. Canadian Mist. Mmm...

To be continued...

Seriously Turi, you need to print these photos out BIG, frame them, and create one huge wall collage! So much beauty (and a fun way to spend your birthday)... :)
