Grouse Ridge- still snow!
Did a day trip into a few lakes in the Grouse Ridge area on Sunday. I've been hiking in this area for over 8 years and have NEVER seen snow this late. There were still a few drifts in the shade of some widely used trails and some huge overhanging drifts over the water. It's
almost August!! Fall fishing should be epic.
Was able to wet wade although there was considerable shrinkage. ;)
Caught a handful of cutthroats and a brookie....was more of a recon trip to see if there were decent size fish in one particular lake. Nope, mostly 10 inchers. Will revisit in two years to see if they've grown.
Oh and my wife did the round trip 8 mile hike with me. What a studette...and she biked around 15 miles yesterday. Heck, I'm still licking my wounds and limping around! Thank goodness for Vitamin I (ibuprofen).
Will post pics later.
