Amethyst & Ostler lakes from Christmas Meadows Trailhead



Less than 100 feet from camp.
Braden looking pleasurably smug, as usual.
Amethyst lake and basin.
Towering cliffs above our camp.

Chris enjoying the view.
Glass clear water on Ostler lake

13 miles with packs, 3 stoves, 1 fishing pole, 3 cameras, 2 tents and at least 1 gallon of water. The views and altitude were breathtaking. All returned with more than was taken. Below is what I found in Amethyst meadow below the cirque where Amethyst lake lies.



Sometimes when your eyes are drawn down to the earth,
you can better perceive what is above, in its reflection.
