Emigrant trip report...
Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2009 9:20 pm
Just a quick note about our trip. lots of snow above 8,000 feet, and most of the trails had some serious water issues... WE started at Crabtree trailhead, as the FS told us that Gianelli was still under a lot of snow. SO we changed trips a bit and headed to Camp, Bear, and Granite Lakes. Ended up camping at the cascades above Bear Lake...and day hiking into Granite Lake, which was snowbound and frozen over.
But what wonderful country. And after three days in the back country, the three of us could count a total of two (2) ! mosquito bites. yeah, there were a few in evidence...but nothing to worry about.
Here's a link to the photos. Bear Lake is about 7700 ft, Granite Lake is over 8500 ft.
