Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Late in June Will and I headed up to the Blue Lake trailhead (just before you get to Cameron Pass up the Poudre River).  You hit timberline right before getting to Blue Lake itself, but I thought it was late enough in the summer that the snow would be mostly gone
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Got up to the trailhead and the parking lot was pretty empty, blue sky, warm, and spotted a moose across the highway in a meadow.  It actually was not that far away, but this photo makes it look that way.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Zoom in max to show what it really looked like.  Nice start to the day.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Well, after spending a few minutes with the moose, I headed back to the trailhead where Will was waiting (patiently) for me.  Nice trailhead with a pretty good map of the trail.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > The trail descends (gently) to a nice bridge that allowed us to cross a rather full and rushing stream.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > I've come down this trail before and been tempted to cross the stream on some logs that cross the water.  But, not tempted today : )
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > The trail ascends a short distance.............
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Till you intersect with an old road that you will follow for approximately the first mile.  It's a mostly level "walk" along the road/trail.  Fairly pleasant, but hard to get any view due to the trees.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > That said, occassionally you will get a glance at the country to the south of the trail .  Even enough to catch a glimpse of Chambers Lake.
