Elk Lake

Miles walked: 30.7

The trail goes by many lakes, ponds, and mosquitos in the morning. Fog rises from the surface of some lakes in early morning. Elk Lake Resort has many visitors today. A hamburger selfie… The resort does not offer wifi, so there is no reason to linger. I grab an ice cream cone on my way out and return to the trail. The next two photos go together. In the Three Sisters Wilderness, some peaks rise suddenly above mountain meadow. Le Conte Crater is an old volcano. Then comes the Three Sisters, starting with South Sister. Behold Middle Sister. North Sister must wait until tomorrow.

Finished audiobook A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway.
