The map of the Blue lake trail. Mitchel Lake and Blue Lake are not marked on the map.
A 3D view of the trail facing west. This year we started back and lost the trail the same as last year. Just missing the trail by a few feet can lead to a dead end and require backtracking to find the way out.
The trail had a couple of steep sections between the 1 and 1.5 mile mark.
We arrived at the Mitchel Lake parking lot at sunset.
The Blue Lake trailhead.
The full moon has just risen above the ridge as the last of tonight's group makes it up the trail.
It's July again, but there isn't a bit of ice on Blue Lake.
The moon just peeking out from the clouds.
This year's group photo.
