I still haven’t mentioned those sites near the bridge to Stacy.
There was a hilarious moment with Alex. He was always edging towards the deep end and he found one of those deep holes in one of the pools. As Tara, Bri and I watched him cautiously lower himself in, a large fish darted out, circled him rapidly, and darted back in. It was just under a foot long and moved fast as a juvenile bear. Alex didn’t see it but we all did and reacted in shock because it moved so fast, we weren’t sure what it was until it vanished again. We didn’t scream but we all gasped. Alex, only seeing out reactions, struggled to escape the pool, not knowing what was happening. We all collapsed in laughter after as Alex tried to grasp what had happened.
Those pools were heavenly. After a cleansing dip, there were plenty of warm sunny granite slabs to lizard lie upon and dry off. It was perfect.
And sitting under the bridge filtering water was one of my fav moments. Best water in the world.
And I really enjoyed the sunset from our campsite. The view of the rock wall reflected in the lake was magical. Despite the pain-in-the-butt hike from the bridge, I’m not sure that those other sites would’ve provided such a spectacular view. That’s my post-Trek rationalization for it anyways.
