| Summit Lake Cliff Hike 9/4/2019 |
| This hike was 3.1 miles. It goes from Summit Lake to Upper Chicago Lake and then back. It is a hike on a cliff and there is no room for a mistake. The cliff is a vertical climb of 1126 feet and extremely steep. |
| As we get close we come across two marmots.. |
| Looking back to the south. |
| We start back up from another hike. A mistake anywhere on the cliff would be very costly. |
| A little further on the way to Upper Chicago Lake. |

| After a short hike a look back to the south. |
| At about halfway down the trail gets less steep. |
| They seem to be kissing and totally ignore us. |
| A little further and we get a good look up the valley. |
