Photo At the end of the hike by Jim Griffin

Sorry for the delay in posting the final stop of the hike as I've been out with a sick child(better now). You can't quite get a feel for the size of this area from the picture, but this was taken with a 20mm lens on an F5. The final part of this hike(about a 1/4 mile) during this particular summer was through a snow field on a slope to get to this point. In fact, they just had opened this part of the trail. The picture I will show from the notch, you will be amazed at how different this area looks in a warmer summer. Grinnell glacier is receding and believe it or not, and you will see in the notch picture, that there is a nice blue lake in front of the waterfall. In fact, I am standing at the edge of the lake! This year, it was an icy snow covered lake. I should also add that this picture was taken in the first part of August(which is in the middle of summer for the northern hemisphere)...Scanned negative.
