Leavitt Lake and the North America Patches

While my wife Michele hiked higher up with our dogs Makisha and Penny for the views, I skied a few laps on what was left of the North America Patch(es) and took some self-timer photos.
Starting my first run…

…another self-timer photo…

I took Leavitt Lake selfie before starting my second run.

I headed over to another part of the North America Patch(es) and had a great panoramic view.

Throughout the hike we noticed many grasshoppers. As you can see below in this exhibitionist grasshopper porn, love was in the air.

Ski Lake and more…

While hiking near Ski Lake the previous week, my wife Michele noticed a semi-hidden patch. We hiked toward Ski Lake hoping that it would still be there.
We found it!
