trip notes
The hike: The hike in was very tough. All the elevation gain is right at the start. Switchback after switchback after switchback to get up on a shelf. Once up the area is easy to deal with. We moved camp twice and ended up coming out early due to the lack of fish.
The fishing: The only lake with fish is Ruybaltd. Make note of this and only go to the other lakes if you are curious about what the look like. There are no fish in them. We did catch some fish in the stream coming out of the upper areas and feeding some of the lakes.
The weather: A great trip all around. The weather was nice. Rained on us a few times but that is to be expected in the high country of CO.
Spirits imbibed:
Mid shelf vodka
Captain Morgan Rum
