Eagle and Symphony Lakes

Steve writes:
The motley crew of our friend Steph, Ranger and Georgie (Ben's dogs), Eve, and I hiked about 12 miles to and from Eagle and Symphony Lakes.



















Ranger (left) is clearly camera shy, enraptured with Symphony. Georgie (right) has smelly breath.



Georgie, imitating Simba stands nobly on Tank Rock. Another sleeping picture of me. Great.

The water on this hike is significant. Eagle Lake (right) is glacier-fed, while Symphony (left) comes from snow melt. What makes this so monumental is the color of the water, only steps away from each other, is completely different.



















Following the river from Eagle Lake, the water took an unusual turn this year. Normally, the slit settles to the bottom of the riverbed, but this year's odd weather changed the water to a milky turquoise.


















Finally before our weary, smelly conclusion, blueberries.

  1. It's kind of weird seeing my dogs on someone else's blog when I'm not there. Thanks for getting them out on such a great adventure! I think I have photos of the dogs on that same rock during the winter. It's a fun trip!
