IMG_6764.JPG9 viewsPhotographing the upper Chamberlain Lake (9849'). Directly over that ridge behind the Professor is Washington Lake. It seems we could have saved ourselves considerable time by traveling cross country. There is considerable uphill encountered on the trail once it turns north along Washington Creek. Looking at the map, there does not seem to be much gain. That trail, however, felt steep to me. Perhaps it was because I was under the mistaken impression it was mostly downhill to Fourth of July Lake.

IMG_6770.JPG9 viewsDescending to the middle Chamberlain Lake (9477'). We camped the previous night about half way along the far (east) side at a horse packer camp complete with a steel cable stock tie. Not a very aesthetic camp, and very little firewood to cook our trout. I had no luck fishing here the previous evening, or the next morning.

DSCF0363.JPG9 viewsThe Devil’s Staircase viewed from just east of Ants Basin; 8:00 pm. About half way to the left edge of the frame from the distinct pinnacle, one can see the entrance to the staircase. About 1/3 down to the bottom of the rock buttress, it divides into two branches. The southerly branch is not visible behind the rock buttress.
