This is where I came upon the main trail leading me back to Imogene Lake last night.  I stayed closer to the trees to avoid getting my feet wetter than they already were.  Note Finger of Fate, the obvious pinnacle on the right skyline.  About a mile below Hell Roaring Lake I lost the light.  I stopped, had a big snack, put on some pants legs, polartec pullover, mountain parka, gloves, headlamp, and swapped visored cap for balaclava.  I enjoyed a pleasant stroll down to the Stanley Valley, arriving at my car at 10 pm.  Just a wonderful fall backpack!
