Stepped pools:
Isn't this a cool place? This was pretty high up the canyon, in a gently
sloping area almost completely lacking in vascular plant life.
Here is another photograph of these pools, looking upslope.
Despite the fact that this water was fed by a snow-field, refreshing myself with a few quick
disrobed dips into the frigid pools
was impossible to resist. As this is a family-friendly web site, don't expect to see any photographs of that.
(Although I note that the water was so cold, it would have been necessary to use my macrophotography gear if I intended to
document naughty body parts.)
I
liked this area a great deal. Unfortunately, there were no Pinguicula, so after my swimming
I picked my way down to the
to the waterfall at the
base of the canyon.
