Here is our campsite for the night, located on the beautiful Upper Jean Lake. As you have seen in other pictures, there is limited space to put a campsite, but we don't need much room with our small footprint. Notice how still the lake is, you can almost miss it in the picture with the mirror reflection.

This is a look from our campsite up the other side of the ravine we are in. The sun was on its way down and offered some really cool shadows.

Here is a look at where we came down to the campsite. Looks like a perfect spot for a boulder avalanche.

Looking at one side of Upper Jean Lake. Believe it or not, there is a tent setup behind that huge boulder on the bottom left side of the picture. Just a fabulous place to stay after a hard day climbing over the passes.

Another side of the lake. Loved the peaks and all the boulders that have fallen from it over the generations spread througout its base.

Upper Jean Lake!

Seeing the far off mountain between the two shoulders coming down and the mirror reflection. Also notice, the tundra in the lower part of the picture.

This is Little Seneca Lake and our home for tonight. This lake really didn't have good camping areas. We loved the rock island in the middle.

This is looking at the side of Little Senaca Lake. As you can see from this angle, it really does have a boulder edge. The valley off to the right is where we came in, dropping down 300ft off the pass. We will go over this pass 3 times over the next couple of days.

A closer view of the boulders right next to our campsite and the lake.

This is looking down the trail to Jean Lake which we will walk by tomorrow on our way down the last campsite.

As the sun begins to set, I thought the contrast of the mountains, lake and shadows was really neat.

Our humble campsite on this tiny patch of tundra. This was probably the worst site as far as being level and comfortable, but plenty of seating.

The sun going down and the winds died down enought to get this really cool shot of the lake. You almost cannot tell there is an island in the middle.

Another view of the campsite from the boulder field. We were only about 100ft off the trail, but we did not have much choice in the manner.

The nights got cool and I got a pretty good sun burn through the day, so I put the fleece on.

This is a look at Island Lake. We got an early start in the morning to do a 10 mile day hike up the Titcomb Basin Valley and it was so worth the effort. This was just the beginning of the views for the day.

After climbing down to Thousand Island Lake and then back up, we came over a ridge to this view. We were breathless. One of the panaromic shots is from this area.

Just when we thought we had seen the best, we came up over another ridge and found this lake system surrounding by all the mountains and boulder edges. Dead center is another ridge and our next question was, what could be behind that.

This is a just a different view point of the same lake mentioned in the previous picture. The water in these lakes are so pristine you can usually see the rocks and boulders at the bottom, unless it is a deep lake.

This is the same lake looking from the other side just before we climb over the ridge. What a difference two sides of the lake can look.

Then we see this and we are floored. Wow! What scenery! This was so worth taking a break from carrying the full loads, coming up here to see this and relax while taking in the view. This was by far the best we had seen on the trip.

Pulled out the 300mm zoom lens and zoomed in on Twins Peak Glacier. The lakes are fed by these glaciers.
