We enjoyed visiting this area together and we also took a short walk around one of the beautiful lakes.

We had the best view of this marvel from the trail. Visitors to the park see the beauty but not like you can see it hiking in between the granite boulders.

Flora & Fauna

I enjoy seeing the wildflowers and the majestic trees just as much as the endless spance of valleys from the tops of mountain peaks.

A Man with a 2,650-mile Mission to help children!

Carl Goodman will hike the Pacific Crest National Trail this year. As he takes each step - along the high mountain crests to the low and grassy valleys, across glacial streams and alongside granite boulders - he will be walking to help the kids at the Home of the Innocents, Louisville, KY.

There will be regular updates, along with maps and photos from his daily journey, reported at http://www.kygreybeard.blogspot.com/.

If you would like to sponsor Carl's journey (10 cents per mile for 2,650 miles totals $265 or a donation in any amount is appreciated), call 502.596.1025 or visit http://www.homeoftheinnocents.org/
