The area above the Valley of Flowers reminded me a lot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The terrain seemed very familiar to me.

We followed a stream up the canyon. It was cool when we started hiking but this was only a short ways up the canyon and Vicky had already peeled off two layers.

The land was interesting to see. It might not be very green but that is most certainly not due to any lack of water.

The water in the valley was coming from multiple directions but the few streams across our path were easy to cross.

This is one lake just above another lake. It was strange to see all the water and so little vegetation.

This was the end of our hike. I just sat down and relaxed for a bit and watched all the fish jumping in the lake.
