"Mormon Lakes" - August 5-7, 2013

Brian & I joined forces for a three day one way trip through the "Mormon Lakes" region of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area. The approach up Chatter Creek was challenging but the beauty that awaited us along the western end of the Icicle Ridge trail was worth every bit of effort to get there.
