| Running through the meadows, felt very good today. "The grasshoppers jumpin' as high as the sky..." well maybe in Oklahoma but not quite that high here. The cloud of grasshoppers has moved about ten yards north since the last sighting.

More beautiful lakes and incredible wildflowers everywhere! High point today was 8440'. Camped at an overlook above the stream, with ten foot tall granite boulders above a cliff. Woke up twice during the night, once to listen to the coyotes howling at the rising moon, and another time when a pine tree crashed in the forest, luckily not too close by! Miles = 15.1 on trail and 1.4 rock scrambling and photography wandering.

| Day 2 TTYR
A beautiful warm day with blue sky, nice trail, carpets of colorful wildflowers everywhere, and just a handful of other people hiking. Climbed two mountain passes and hiked by several scenic lakes. Camped in a grassy meadow near a clear snowmelt lake, where I have previously snowcamped in the winter. High point at 9640'. Miles = 15.2 on trail and 3.2 rock scrambling above the two passes to see the panoramic vistas.

| An evening climb up the "Secret Trail" which apparently really is a secret because there are not signs of much travel. This is my first time up this trail, and I lost the trail a few times but by following the natural terrain features found it again. Beautiful sunset with lavender alpenglow on the hillsides and the lake a shimmery slate blue.
