Nymph Lake

Going up the Emerald Lake Trail from Bear Lake is quite a climb. According to the information kiosk at the trail head, you gain almost a thousand feet of elevation going from Bear Lake to Emerald Lake. I decided to see how far I could get. Taking it slow and easy, I made it the entire way, as you can see by the posts below.

Here are a couple of pictures of Nymph Lake, the first lake you encounter on the way up. To get an idea of how huge the trees up here are, look closely at the second picture, using your picture viewer and zoomed to at least 100%. Look closely at the end of the arrow, and see the people standing on the top of the cliff across the lake, and compare the people with the size of the trees.
