Taking a moment to savor the view during a hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness in Northern California, July 2018. View is just a few hundred yards down the trail from Boulder Creek Lakes, a decent side hike to enjoy from the popular Canyon Creek Lakes trail. Incredible vistas of exposed granite alps, deep valleys, blue skies, and, as always, ants.
