Don and I went for a "little" hike in Rocky Mountain NP... Past Mills and Jewel Lakes to Black Lake and back. I enjoyed it even though I'd been there with Sue less than two years earlier -- but no snow today.

Naturally Don went farther and faster than I did, all the way to Frozen Lake above, but then because it was geting late, we came down directly past Alberta Falls rather than detouring to Lake Haiyaha like the previous hike.
