Sallie Keyes Lakes to Squaw Lake
22 miles
I am a lucky hiker.
I am sitting cross-legged on a shoreline at what I think is the most lovely lake in the entire Sierras. Why is this one so special?
-the alpine glow at sunset
-the circle of mountains
-deep blue water
-and the peace that emulates
And……wait for it…..I am the only one here….
Seriously…
Earlier today I stopped at Bear Ridge above Lake Edison, because I had cell service. After spending a couple hours checking in at home and posting blog entries I had to hoof it to make my destination for the day.
I came into camp about 8:00 pm expecting the Squaw Lake to be packed with hikers. I worked for this sunset.
The trail today passed over both Selden and Silver passes.
Ya it was pretty great.
Yep, pretty darn beautiful.
Just caught up on your 1st 5 days. Totally awesome! What an amazingly blue sky!
I totally understand that smile today! Absolutely lovely photos too.
I like the straw hat but it seems to be out of place??? 😉

Hey GoalTech, that hat saved me this week!!! It was like hiking in the desert. Weird for the Sierras. I think it is a fashion statement. Not!
Oh I get that…I was just reflecting back on the first time I read your gear list you just posted and its alternate use. 🙂
