A Week in the San Juans - Day 3
Day 3 took me to high alpine tundra plains along the Continental Divide Trail, and to Highland Mary Lakes. In the morning I drove out to Molas Lake to hopefully get some reflection pictures on the lake. The lake however was covered in morning fog which made for good pictures still.
Started in T-Shirt and Shorts.
Then it snowed.
Then ended in T-Shirt and shorts again.

Rainbow over Silverton
Soon it warmed up and I started hiking in shorts and a T-Shirt. Things were really nice until clouds started building and the wind started blowing. I was the tallest thing in the meadows for miles so I worried about having to hunker down if I started seeing lightning. Luckily I heard a couple thunder claps but never saw any lightning. I did have to bundle up as it snowed for about 10 minutes on me. Typical of the mountains though the storm passed and I was back to a T-Shirt and shorts by the time I got back to the car.
After the hike I stopped in Silverton to refuel my car and my body. Caught a nice rainbow as I was leaving for camp.
Frost in the morning
