Goodbye to the meadow and mountains

Loaded up

After dinner, the chef whipped up some brownies, cooking them pancake style.

In the woods

Mirror lake can be seen in the distance.

At the ridgetop, we looked down on Cutthroat Lake on the other side.

Breakfast

Morning reflection

Gold reflections on the lake surface.

Reid Meadow was filled with small wildflowers. They don't easily show up with a wide shot, but this closeup highlights them well.

Hiking out

Exhilarating swim.

The cliffs dropped steeply on the south side.

Good break spot

Cuberant Lake in the morning

Wood gatherer taking a break

Cuberant Lake was reached just around sunset. The air was cool and pleasant.

Reid Meadow

Morning breaking again. Once again I shot rocks and reflections

Campfire

A refreshing swim and bath in the middle of the day felt awesome after the hike.

Towards Mt. Bald and Mt. Reid again.

Mount Marsell is southeast of Cuberant Lake. One must actually go around it to hike to this lake. We decided to hike to the top (the elevation is above 11,300 feet). Ascending a steep and long boulder field to the top, we stopped often to catch our breath and look back on the lake.

Goose

A warm fire made everything perfect.

Along the way, we discovered a small lake with an island in the center. It made a nice stopping place for a rest.

Happy pair.

Mountain wildflower

Dinner

Eye on the prize

High mountain air

The sign

Putting our food in a bag and tying it high to prevent bears from getting to our stuff.

Camp chef

We began our hike through Uinta mountains on a very pleasant day with high clouds.

Hiking towards Mt. Reid

Mmmmmmmmmm.

Stronger than wood

Headed back to Cuberant Lake

Hiking further towards the top. Mt. Baldy and Mt. Reid are in the distance.

Reading at the lake

One of my favorite shots from Cuberant Lake, this captures the water, the rocks beneath the surface, this distinct boulder and the mountain on the distant lakeside.
