Grinnell Overlook, Continental Divide



This is a view east from the top of the ridge or arete that they call the Garden Wall. The first photo shows Grinnell glacier and Gem glacier below me. The next shot shows off the developing lake below the glaciers and the valley and chain of lakes, all fed by the water from way up here. This is the same area that I hiked up to a couple of days ago from the east side. I don't think I'd like to be here in a stormy day and I'll watch for thunderheads building up, but today is a very fine day for this hike.
