A rare shot together on the trail...

Most people having turned around at Inspiration Point, we have the trail largely to ourselves for the main part of the hike...

Miche ever bear aware in the deeper undergrowth...

View up the canyon walls...

Lake Solitude (elevation 9000 feet)...


Looking back down the valley...


Pikas...


We also saw lots of marmots and a snake, but couldn't get a decent shot before they disappeared or blended in...




The same bull moose a little further downstream as we descend...


Two bull moose, one far left with just its antlers showing and the other on the right...
