This is a view from the campground a few miles into the hike, I'm not sure what the camp ground was called but it was very pretty. - Bob


This is a bit of a scary but very beautiful section that comes a bit south of the lake. - Bob


This picture is taken a couple of miles into the hike after you've left the lake behind. - Bob


This is a shot from soon after you leave the dam behind, you can't see it in the picture but the trail kinda follows the right side of the lake. - Bob
