Never found the Granite Lakes, but will return soon to get 'em!

 

Gear Notes:

Running shoes w/gaiters

Cinnamon Roll flavored P. Tarts.

MP3's

 

Approach Notes:

dry below, with increasing snow up the Granite Creek Road/Trail. You'll need snowshoes to make any meaningful progress after three or four miles. fruit.gif
