Granite Lake Backpacking Trip 7-23 to 7-25

Granite Lake and the surrounding environs are botanically and geologically splendid....but I am currently staffing Camp Kurty and do not have the energy to blog our backpacking trip in detail.

Us standing in the snow (!) enjoying the views from Seven-Up peak; the snow capped peak to my right is Mt. Shasta.

The late spring and cool summer made for lush meadows, abundant wildflowers, and sparkling streams to drink from.

Beautiful fragrant wild azaleas.
