It was a sunny day, rare on Memorial Day Weekend, so I went for a hike. The high country is still well under snow. In fact, any terrain above 2500' is pretty much still under snow. Lake 22 is right around 2500' and the last part of the trail plus the lake was under snow. That was apparently a surprise to many of the hikers who came up in hiking sandals, running shoes, fishing poles. One fellow planned to run up the trail in shorts and shoes until he saw me emerge from the woods in long pants and long sleeves. He asked if it was cold up at the lake. Yes, as it is still covered in snow. He grabbed a shirt before jogging on.
The waterfalls were named "Wow Fow's" early on by a hikers young daughter who was impressed with the volume and quantity. The falls are strong this time of year with all the snow melt. Here are the pictures.
