Little Lakes Valley Trail with the clouds clearing out after a little weather last weekend made for some great photos. My buddy Mike Pilarski is crossing this little foot bridge as we hiked in to camp over night at the overcrowded Gem Lakes. We got a pretty good spot in the woods off the lake, but there were tons of people on the granite along the lake and they were pooping and peeing all over each other - we kept our distance. I didn't take any pics of them defecating all over the place, but I did get some other pretty good pics of the great weather and beautiful scenery that I will post in the next couple days.
