Today dawned hot once again. Ugh. I can’t wait for the
cooler weather to drift in. The bulk of the hike through Lake Eleven was just
beautiful, and along an almost-perfect path, often soft pine needles. The last
two miles got a bit rough, with downed trees and overgrown vegetation. Jerry
Lake was scruffy, with lots of downed trees and overgrown sections. But both
were well marked, and that’s always a good thing! Started Mondeaux Esker before
quitting for the day.
Oh, have to mention that the Mondeaux Esker is enormous, and
quite stunning. An esker is a long, narrow, winding ridge of glacial debris. To
me, it’s one of the most recognizable features of past glaciers.
