One of the first stops was by a cascade that
developed from a flood in 1982 when a dam further up the mountain
gave way. The flood created quite a wash. At the time two campers
died in the sudden flood. Yoshiko is sketching the cascade. Perhaps
we'll see it on one of her paintings someday.
There were nice streams and waterfalls near the road - just a few
hundred yards away. Can you see Yoshiko down there
sketching?
More creek, cascade and waterfall pictures
This is a nice waterfall. Don't get too close to the edge Yoshiko!
She always scares me.
YOshiko liked the character of this aspen tree.
At the top we stopped for a picnic lunch
In the bowl below there was a herd of elk eating the mountain
tundra.
At another stop we found the nice little lake. Even though a thunder
storm was brewing beyond the lake was still and calm.
Another grand view from the rockies.
