Stunning. A lot of incredible photography. I can't believe you don't get sore and tired.

Your photo captures a characteristic of many rodents including beaver and mountain beaver. The outer portion of the teeth (orange colored) is composed of a harder substance than the inner aspect. Being harder means it abrades at a slower rate which allows for the curvation usually seen.

Years ago Matt did this route in the opposite direction. I remember him saying around the Stonehenge (#3) area there was a real "Crux" area where your ass was hanging out in the air. Basically climbing. Did you run into that? Great trip. Thanks for posting.

Thanks all! Definitely a trip I'll remember. Sculpin, always appreciate your plant wisdom. Tom, a recent Canyon Lake report on WTA left me feeling slightly vindicated--my path may have actually been better than following the trail, which was no doubt below me. Nancyann--huh, didn't see anything jumping in any of the lakes, but I don't fish (!) so am not tuned into these things. Cyclo: sore? Haha I can finally walk again today. BPJoe: I think Matt went CCW too, no? But he went on the N side of Totem Ridge which is way harder than what I did.

Neek, makes sense a slide has made things problematic. Canyon hasn't changed much in ~75 years although may have been called Cirque Lake. This photo from the Dwight Watson Collection inspired me to visit.

this is what it looked like in late LATE spring
not too much runoff. This was late spring/through first days of summer of this year if my link doesn't work it's at time stamp 40:11 after our traverse from hanging gardens to canyon lake

Very nice trip report . . . it probably beats "mowing the lawn" going up the Indian Creek trail, eh? lol.gif Beautiful pics.

Four-paw buddy lets me tag along!
