Return to Blue Lake
This absurdly early morning I met Jonah and Ben, and we drove up to Brainard Lake, past Nederland, on the Peak-to-Peak.
We hiked up to Blue Lake, about half a mile east of the continental divide. After lunch we walked around for a bit. It was a great day — blue sky, barely a cloud in sight, pretty warm. I got sunburned, though. We drove back to Boulder via Ward, down Left Hand Canyon.
Some photos:

Jonah gets a little altitude sickness on the way back. Nothing a little aspirin couldn't cure. Too bad we didn't think to bring any.
