• We head out into the High Peaks area on a rainy Fourth of July!
  • Marcy Dam with Mt. Colden and the slide area above Avalanche Pass
  • Marcy Dam - even though it was a wet day, there were lots of hikers still out on the trails
  • Trail junction - up to Mt Colden or onward to Avalanche Pass
  • Trails are marked with a certain color disc
  • OK then, we go this way!
  • It started raining so hard we decided to stand in the forest under our umbrellas
  • We made it - a bit WET! But here we are - Avalanche Lake
  • The rock wall below Mt Colden was full of instantaneous waterfalls
  • The water was too deep to easily reach the rowboat
  • Swollen stream flowing into Avalanche Lake
  • Avalanche Lake from the north end
  • We had some bursts of sunshine interspersed with more rain showers
  • Avalanche Lake
  • The trail gets more adventurous around Avalanche Lake
  • Looking back at the north end of the lake
  • Avalanche Lake with the sun coming out
  • Stream emptying into Avalanche Lake
  • Flowers along the trail
  • The trail became totally submerged at this spot - on the way up those rocks were above the water
  • Making our way back down the trail from Avalanche Lake
  • After a hop, it is a jump -keep on moving!
  • OK my turn to navigate the river,,, er trail!
  • Walking through the slide area of Avalanche Pass
