1 Morning light from Iceland Lake
2 Pussy Paws
3 Iceland Lake
4 Due to a mistake in the book we stayed at the much less attractive Iceland Lake. This is Ridge Lake just a few 100 meters aways. Beautiful.
5 Cross Country to Long Lake. View down past Lewis lake into the glacial valley we hiked up out of.
6 Heavy snow meant stunning wildflowers late into the season.

8 Sunset on Long Lake. Stellar fishing.
9 Buck Lake. Probably the most beautiful lake on the hike.

15 Emigrant Lake and the point where Melissa caught "Mr. Johnson." He was so big (rainbow about 5 lbs) that the rod wasn't stiff enough to land him and the line was too weak and broke.
16 Rarely visited Lower Twin Island Lake. Hardly even a trail there. These fish had the unqiue ability to bite through the line. Lost 5 lures to them. The ones we caught we smoked over an open fire.
17 Melissa has ankle/shoe issues. She hiked the rest of the trip in the little red Solomons.

19 Black Bear Lake
20 Fishing at Snow Lake. Not a bite. Skunked.

23 Old mine at Snow Lake.

25 Emigrant Pass.

27 The hike down. This also doubled as a road to the mine.
28 The drop down to Kennedy Lake. After, hiking 14 miles already this was a difficult site.
29 Evening on Big Sam. The trail came down from the right. Great fishing.
