My friend Sue Wolber and I got together for an ambitious fall hike in Rocky Mountain NP, to Mills, Black, and Haiyaha lakes... Which took us 9:18 round trip, 10.8 mi, 2072'... It was a beautiful day, so I took, and kept, too many pictures again! We had lovely weather, but used traction (spikes/coils) twice on very icy conditions; the last half mile or so below Black Lake, and down from Haiyaha to Dream.

(Sue died in a small airplane crash 13 months later on November 23, 2024... Rest in peace.)
