 I set up camp near shoe box falls and visit the Beaver dams on the stream |
 I scramble up Elizabethtown 4 under the clouds |
 but with glimpes of sun |
 and a distant view of Giant |
 it pours over night, and the North Boquet is swolen |
 I walk to the New Russia trailhead and see a blue heron |
 and grab a snack at split rock |
 some blue sky appears as I climb |
 and there are nice views from Bald Peak |
 view back toward Bald |
 and up toward Rocky Peak Ridge |
 Lake Mary Louise |
 treeline trail view |
 on Rocky Peak ridge with a view of Giant |
 and now on Giant |
 a pause on the descent |
 breakfast on the South Bouquet |
 marvelous swirl pools on along the brook to Dix |
 the slide is becoming overgown |
 half way up |
 halfway down |
 hanging on the side |
 resting on the top |
 with dim view, and a few raindrops on the summit |
 a welcome lunch on Hough |
 and a view of Elk Lake |
 a rest on South Dix |
 and checking the view on East Dix |
 hanging out on the way down |
 halfway down |
 halfway up |
 view of shoe box falls (lol) |
 a visit from a beaver |
 breaksfast at shoe box has the first sun I've seen there, and the water has returned to normal levels |
