And we made it! 1.8 uphill miles.. Emerald Lake was beautiful..We sat on the rocks for a well deserved water break..until Zach saw a wall of rocks..using the excuse he had to pee..(which he did not) he asked to climb the rocks..
Tired Nick..who is still drying his eyes from the injustices of the hike.. jumped up..with a big smile on his face and took off up the rocks..climbing climbing..
Really? Really! ? !
I soon followed as did Christian and the big boys..these were big rocks..with matching big crevices..probably beyond our safety limits but we had fun..The climb to the top of the rocks rewarded us with a view back through the rising canyonand lakes we just hiked through.. Nick wasn't complaining..and neither were we!
The walk back was fast..and all downhill. Nick counted nearly 4,000 steps...
Back to camp to relax! .
