Trinity Alps Trip - Part 4 - Peak Scramble

Tangle Blue lake is in a bit of a bowl (as I suppose it must be, since it's a lake). We decided to see if we could scramble up to the peak on the south side. It was a pretty steep scramble (we calculated it was about 800-1000' elevation difference between the lake and the peak) and we made it pretty far. I stopped maybe 2/3 of the way up and just hung out and enjoyed the view (and the flowers!). Zach and Molly scrambled up to the ridge and looked over into the next valley. 

Then we scuttled down the mountain and dipped our toes in the lake, said hello to a dragon fly, and went back to camp. Zach and I did jump all the way into the lake later. It was cold, but very refreshing!
