WOW!

Gary, that would be a trip of a lifetime for me!

Your camps looked like suburbia!

The photography is off the charts!

Thanks so much for taking the time to post up!

Gary,
What a great trip and story, I could almost imagine being there. Did you do a trip like that last year also?

The same general group of riends have gotten together for a week long trek the last four years. Last year was suppose to have been the hike we made this year. We had to cancell it last year because of the heavy/late snows and did this two part trip.

Wow, great trip report and fantastic photography, great job.

P.S. I think that first photo is Skelton Lake, not Arrowhead.

Great TR! Is that bird a Grouse or a Raptor of some kind?

[beachbum]

Fantastic pictures, and great report! That is some amazing country you hiked!

It's a Grouse, he seemed as big as a chicken though. That is the best picture I got of it. He wouldn't hold still for the camera.

Gary,
Your pictures triggered my photo memory of my JMT trip. I stayed by Duck Creek one night in that meadow just above the trail. Shared the meadow with Llamas of all things! My experience at Virginia was completely different, relaxed, ate lunch, and fished. Looks like it hailed quite a bit on you guys.

I stayed a night at Squaw Lake before climbing Silver, however I did stop at Silver Pass Lake... if I recall correctly my fish experience was different than yours...

Nice trip! It sure is a beautiful area.

Oh my, how this wonderful post brought back memories. I did a double-take as I saw the tents at Duck Lake. I have camped right there as well! I also camped at Skelton before heading over Duck Pass. Man, the blue skies over duck were EXACTLY how I remember them!


I then day hiked to purple for some nice bows, and golden hybrids.



What a trip! And what a trip you took us on. Thanks for the post. That was simply amazing to follow you on your journey!

I would have thought that first picture was one of mine for sure, how cool is that.
