Facing southest on the Rim Trail.
Looks like a frozen waterfall.

Long way to go.
A family of mountain goats were sunbathing here.
The father .....
The mother and baby ...
Area around Stone City ...
One of the nicer Cairns on the Rim Trail.
Hey we are in the Stone City...
Cheers !

It was only 10 feet from us.
See how close we were with the goatie friend (6.8 MB file).
Mommy and the kid walked right by us.
Daddy was watching ....
Something smells good here.
I am gonna sit here.
"Hey what are you looking at ?"
"Where is my love ?"
Unlimited view from the Rim Trail.
"Awesome weather ...so blue", said Sikee.

Looking he is dosing off.
Yes, Giant Cleft is "this" way.

Just don't fall, OK!
Is this a spaceship or mushroom?
On my god, ...the aliens were coming out from the spaceship ....
We were at Stone City.
Ladyslipper Lake.
Must be another spaceship ....
Sure that wasn't another spaceship ??
After a long hike ... cheers !
10pm at Lake of the Woods.
We were heading to Lakeview Mountain the next morning.
It looked like a paradise for bears here.
I guess this sign showed how many people has used the Centennial Trail!
Me standing on an interesting rock.
Sikee at top of Lakeview Mountain.
Man, it's so bright !
Find all the Cathedral Lakes behind me.

Oh shit, Carleton got abducted by the aliens from that spaceship.
Where's Waldo ? Can you find us ?

I didn't digitally put him in this position !
Clouds on the water.
Mice got to Sikee's granola bar, and see what they left behind ...
Deers walked straight into the campsite..
Sikee's thought at the moment, "BBQ deer meat, hmmmm, :P"
I looked like an idiot here.
Quiniscoe Lake.
Last lunch by Quiniscoe Lake.
Again, we missed the Mercedez Truck going down ....
It was tough for some of us who had short legs.
She made it down safely.
They were quite agile on this slope.
We were so lucky to see them on this hillside.
This poor little guy must have died painfully on my roof-rack.
