Late start to the point we probably should have bailed.
We did spot five separate bighorns, so that was an interesting highlight.
Each one was hanging out in a well-shaded spot and then took off as we approached.  Hopefully, they made it back to those cooler hangouts quickly after we passed.
At our turn-around point (a 30 or 40' pour-over), you can see the gravel deposits at about head height from where the lake level used to be. Now, you can't even see the water from this point. A steep up-and-over allows access to the lake, but not today thank you.
The heat really reduced my ability to focus on the scenery or anything much else - I was just happy to get back to the vehicle with a little water still left. |
