Crater Lakes Hiking 8/23/09

My friend Wing and I met up for a hike up to the Crater Lakes in the James Peak Wilderness near Denver. Was a beautiful day and a pretty hike.

Just below the first lake.
The second lake, where we had lunch.
I skied this line in 2008: http://jwelch.smugmug.com/Outdoors/Skiing/Crater-Lakes-Skiing-6292008/5299444_rpcFg Looks pretty damn improbable in the summer...
Wildflowers

Wing.
More wildflowers
A waterfall between the upper lake and lower lakes. Didn't make it all the way to the upper lake due to an approaching storm.
Wildflowers and one of the lower lakes as the storm moves in.

Cool lighting up the valley.
Wreckage of an old cabin.
The east portal of the Moffat train tunnel, where the trail starts.
