Us at Brown Springs Trailhead

Ready to head out

But of course, Yuko has to tie her boots!

The trail is actually a fire break

No cascade today .... No water!

Heading out closer to the bluff lines

This is actually a way down off the mountain .... but we are staying on top!

Following Vic

Out to panoramic point

That is ICE!

A view to the Northeast

A view to the Northwest

Lots of loose rock ... and Vic explained why.

Looking towards Fat Man's Squeeze ... No not Vic!

Our new friend from Kansas ... Sue.

A very curious fellow

A little geology and a nice hike

I think this rock was too far from the group?

But I am in this picture ... but who would know?

...and again not much water in the creeks

A few weeks ago there were such nice "ice sculptures" here.

Again more ice on the north side ...

Mike and Yuko

A separated rock bluff ... maybe next time it won't be there?

Heading on over to Dripping Springs

Ah, must be that direction.

Most think this is the the creek that runs into Dripping Springs ... not so!

This is Dripping Springs ... and it was "dripping"

The Window is also a way down off the mountain.

Mary Ann, Micki and Betty

This is called "Needles Eye"

A curious dog and a curious Bob!

Our own Geologist ... Vic Vere

Brenda

Heading back ... we are hungry.  Guess where we are eating today?

Other folks beside us humans need a snack

We decided to take the road back to Brown Springs ... it was quicker!

It was a great day ....

....plenty of welcomed sunshine.

There's Lou, I thought we were one short on the hike!

Now let's go to the Lodge for lunch.
