Lake Irwin Hike Album 07/27/2010
This was a 2.5 mile hike around Lake Irwin.
To the west is Mt. Beckwith.
The wildflower Miners Lantern is over 6 feet high.  
Lake Irwin is west of Crested
Butte.
The trail then took us past a
waterfall.
On a hot July day we hike
through wildflower fields.
On the west side of the lake
there again are wildlfower fields.
There are some private
beaches on the lake.
The first half of the hike was through wildflower fields.
And even beaver dams.
We pass a large rock formation.
We come across some young
campers.
We end where we began, at
the trailhead.
The trail is bridled by
wildflowers.
One last look at Lake Irwin as
we approach the trailhead.
