Melakwa Lake hike 9-5-2011

Up the Denny Creek Trail at 7 AM we stopped at Keekwulee Falls

Just a nice clearing in the shade before the next series of switchbacks

Beautiful Alpine lake looked inviting to swim, but no swimsuit!

Just above the first lake is Upper Melakwa lake

Just a little snow field to cross before relaxing for lunch

Steve the "Photographer" was taking pictures of a rescue

Gary pulled up a comfortable rock to relax and watch the action

Needed a quick picture of me at the lake

Stopped for a photo shoot at the falls on our way out

Our welcoming crew when we finished. Stephanie and Marcus just getting started

9.5 miles RT and lots of gain 2300+

Annette Lake Aug 13, 2011

Hike to Annette Lake passes some beautiful waterfalls

Bridges to cross

Once at the lake it is time to relax and have a bit to eat

There was still snow at the waters edge

Steve "The Photographer" was busy!

Stephen had just finished reading the Book of Mormon

Stephen stopped to pray and got his answer

Another interesting log bridge to cross

We made it and had a good time.

Green Lake at Snow Basin July 9, 2011

Mt Ogden and Allen Peak above Snow Basin

Little stream next to the trail

Pretty lady among the pretty flowers

Almost there and worth the hike?

Lake or pond, at least peaceful

Nice bench to rest

A few of Katy's favorite flowers

Pretty purple ones

Rock Canyon Provo July 6 2011

Rocks are a plenty and beautiful

Nice hike up Rock Canyon (6 miles Round trip)

I could study the rock formations for a long time
We had a good stream running along the trail

3 miles to the Fountain wow what a disappointment

The water was drinkable!

One long water fall

Getting close to the end.

Stopped at the Provo Temple once finished the hike

Stewart Falls July 5, 2011

A nice time to stop for a rest (4 miles round trip)

Stephen left us to rest by ourselves

Scenery of the mountains and falls were great

Stephen was waiting at the falls for us

Good time resting at the falls

Long walk back to the car
