 Ut oh. 12 miles! Road closed! Whats going on here? |
 Ah well.. what are you going to do? Go backpacking! |
 Lots of beautiful mountain streams along the way.. |
 Lake Chipotle, we claim thee! Yes, and your snow too! |
 And you. |
 11 acres of lake.. all to ourselves! |
 And maybe some bears.. Hmm yeah they can share the lake but not our food! |
 How can you not smile when you have a lake to share with bears! |
 Looking through the forest.. |
 Campsite! |
 Enjoying the lake as the sun goes down on a cold evening at 8700 ft elevation. |
 Fire! Fire! Every cold night needs a nice warm fire! |
 But the wind was CRAZY! It was going in every direction. It really kept us on our toes, always a dancing away from the smoke and flame. |
 My favorite shot |
 The fire's glow |
 The morning light on a still lake |
| Panoramic Chipotle Lake |
 One more look goodbye.. |
