DSCF0848.jpg2 viewsA peninsula on the west shore of Imogene catches the last rays of daylight, while the slope above and west is already in shadow. I meant to take a photo of the rainbow trout I caught, but it was getting late, and I did not want to be cooking in the dark, which, of course, is what happened!

DSCF0853.jpg2 viewsAbout an hour after leaving camp at noon, I'm following the "off-and-on" climber's path that began on the west side of the outlet at Imogene Lake. This was one of the first small tarns I arrived at. The description I was following said to cross the outlet stream of lake 8320' and ascend the wooded slopes north of the outlet from the lake west of point 8817.

DSCF0903.JPG2 viewsHeading N toward the saddle overlooking Strawberry Basin. There always seem to be a few tents here. The view is nice, but there is no water. Not sure why anyone would camp here. Maybe hunters preparing for bow season.

DSCF0904.JPG2 viewsThe view across the Sawtooth Valley to Mt. Cramer. The smoke is staying out of sight to the N, fortunately!

DSCF0911.JPG2 viewsI don't think I've ever gone the same way twice. The descent seemed easier this trip, especially near Warm Springs Creek where I managed to avoid the worst of the fallen timber.
