Hike track link
Bob and I headed up to the Grunion Plateau. We really wanted to see the water over the
spillway at South Lake and then we came up with a hike to justify the
drive.
A mile of pipeline walking tests our balance as we start the
hike. We both did fine. Then past Brown and Green Lakes, which are
nice and have flowers, but not spectacular mountains around them, then a final
ridge to climb and we were on the top. I
was expecting glorious flowers from all the snow of last winter, but it was long
gone, and the plateau was already scorched by the sun into a sea of brown.

And it was too early to have lunch. What to do?
Bob suggested climbing Peak 12406.
Up we went. We treated ourselves
to views of Thunder and Lightning Lake, Baker and Hidden Lakes, Cloudripper,
and Two Eagle Peaks. Along with the
views we enjoyed the flowers and our lunch.
