IMG_5692.JPG11 viewsThis gives one a pretty good idea about just where it can be found. I thought it might be a geo-cache, but we left it undisturbed, and did not even enter a waypoint.Aug 27, 2010

IMG_5689.JPG15 viewsWe were told about this symbolic marker by a climber on the boat from the lodge to the west end of Redfish Lake. It appears it had not been there long, and was easy to spot. I'm not sure of its significance, but it is pretty cool!Aug 27, 2010

IMG_5685.JPG12 viewsElisa nearing the end of boulder hopping below Blue Rock Butress, high above Blue Rock Lake; a slightly lower route descending further down the granite slabs might have avoided the short section of boulders.
