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.

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.
