VIEWS! FLOWERS! MEADOWS! This hike really packs a lot into it in 5 miles up and 3000' vert. Bluebird day with great hiking temps.
Met a Wonderland hiker that had to detour to the Tamanos camp because no reservations available for that night. At least a seven mile detour, but she did not seem to mind. All told we met 6 people day hiking. 4 of them were hikers we met on other hikes this year. Not sure how our secret hiking schedule leaked out but investigating.
Now the views. The Lakes and the Governors were spectacular. The bright green around the Lakes contrasted with the rugged Governors is a great sight. At the saddle the view of the Mountain is always spectacular with all its surrounding landscape. But both Georg and I think the meadows are some of the most deserving of views. Only Bear Park (view from Brown Peak) rivals these meadows and today they were filled with flowers as far as the eye could see. As I often say, a picture is worth a thousand words, but seeing it in person is worth a million pictures. One hiker taking some pictures said the same thing, these pictures just do not do justice to these views.
Happy Hiking!
