Little Lakes Valley

Little Lakes Valley 1, originally uploaded by kimberzy.

The view from the top of the hill is breathtaking. I sat here for about 10 minutes, just enjoying the view and breathing in the pine-scented air. The sounds of thunder were in the distance, and the storm clouds kept getting closer. The hike to the top of the hill was a little bit of a huff-n-puff (the trailhead starts out at over 10,000 feet), and was mosquito-filled (and I had left the repellant at camp). But, luckily, there were few to no mosquitos where I was sitting on the rocks. The picture is pretty, but you have to see it in person to really see for yourself.
