High-Altitude Cutthroats In The Backcountry
High-Altitude Cutthroats In The Backcountry
Day One
Since the area is not well-traveled we couldn't rely on marked trails to reach the lake. Instead we drew up a plan of attack using some unconventional sources, including tele-marking blogs, old Department of Fish and Wildlife records, and USGS topo maps. Which led to a few surprises along the way.

Like this flock of sheep watched over by Basque shepherds, (and by Arlo, our canine fish spotter, who's leaning out the window of our truck). We ran into the flock on our way to the trailhead. The Basques graze the high-altitude valleys in the summer, moving their sheep through a latticework of trails and logging roads from valley to valley. We waited for over an hour for the flock to clear the road before we could pass.

Wow! Some great pics, I think that a trip like this would be so fun to do with my friends. Fishing, Hiking, Camping, Mountains, and nice weather, what more could an outdoorsman want?
