Another Hill Climb

Amphitheater Lake is more than 3000 feet above the trailhead, and about 5 1/2 miles in. I made it 3 miles in and 1200 feet up, and still was quite pleased with myself.

Early on, it was a moderate walk in the woods with glimpses of the peaks above.

Then things got steeper.

As it got higher and the forest opened up, I got views of Bradley and Taggert Lakes to the south

and Jenny and Jackson Lakes to the north.

The trail continued up, but I didn’t.

I guess I will have to be satisfied with these views. Ya think???
