Inspired by Scott and Jamie's recent backpacking trip to Canyon Creek Lakes, in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, Ross and I spent the weekend at Boulder Creek Lakes. BC Lakes are one the west side of the main Canyon Creek trail. The trail was steep at times, but always beautiful. We made several creek crossings, most hopping from rock to rock, but two were log crossings. It took us 6 hours to get from the trail head to our campsite at Boulder Creek Lakes. We stopped for lunch and numerous times to marvel at the views and the numerous wild flowers. Two pictures below, Ross is posing next to tiger lilies.
These next few pictures shows the Boulder Creek Lakes basin. Ross counted about six small lakes in the basin. There were several snow melt cascades feeding the lakes.
Water was plentiful and crystal clear. Although the lake was cold, we both managed a lunch time swim on Sunday, and were glad to be refreshed!
Our photos don't accurately express our surprise and delight with all we saw, or the grand panoramas that surrounded us. We hope to explore the area further in the near future1
