Pics. of the week

Grizzly Lake Falls, Trinity Alps Wilderness, Far NorCal





The picture really doesn't do this justice. That Fall is cascading about 100 ft straight down, so that shows how massive that rock face is.


I scaled the far left to get to the lake, which is here:

Grizzly Lake

This is in late May. We had a pretty good snow pack that year.
I took my lab with me on this solo, one day trail-run (that's right folks, I ran back then). It's about 13 miles round trip with approx. 5,000ft of ascent. The rock you see is super rough on a dogs paws, and I paid for it. The last 1/2 mile to the truck I had to carry my pooch, her pads were real tender and she just wouldn't go anymore.
