Crossing the dam toward the ridge beyond. I got used to this particular view of Josh that day.		 IMG_1844
View downstream of the dam.		 IMG_1845
And upstream of the dam.		 IMG_1846
The plan was to ascend to this ridge, walk along it, and see Paradise Lakes on the backside.

It wasn't TOO steep at first.		 IMG_1848
Some wildflowers on the way up. I *think* these are willow herbs. If so, they're not unique to the Rockies or anything..but kind of nice.		 IMG_1849
Break-time is Jeff's favorite time. Josh was very patient with me.		 IMG_1850
