Little Lakes and Ansel Adams Wilderness Area

       This was another side trip for a hike into the mountains. It seems that most of the trails go up stream valleys, at least the trails we took did.

Looking back down the Little Lakes Trail near the start.

Further along, I took this picture of the trail ahead.

Marshy Lake.

Heart Lake.

On the side of the mountains, you can see lighter colored veins
in the darker rock of the peaks.

Long Lake, this was the end of the trail for us.

Returning we had a nice view of Box Lake.

Lupine and Indian Paintbrush.

Another view of Heart Lake.

Gentian.
