| Gary takes a GPS reading... just like the pioneers must
have done on their treks West. Though it is impossible to get lost
in Miter Basin - basically because there are sheer mountain walls to
"guide" even the most spaced-out hiker - it was important to
make sure the GPS route was laid in and working... We would need it
later as the route out over Crabtree Pass was not so obvious.
What a spectacular walk it was up the Alpine meadow that lines Miter Basin. An active creek runs the length of the basin, fed by high lakes situated out-of-site above us on either side. We are nearing Primrose Lake's outflow to the creek in Miter Basin, about one third of the way to Crabtree Pass. |
