Day 19 - Bear Creek to Sallie Keyes Lakes...

The ladies headed south, up and over Seldon Pass (el 10,900') and then down to Sallie Keyes Lakes. Their crossing of Bear Creek was not as bad as had been reported with the chilly waters coming up to about their thighs. (Brrr!)


Crossing Bear Creek...

Along the way they passed beautiful Marie Lake and the smaller, Heart Lake, another picture perfect spot in the central Sierra.


Marie Lake...


Looking back on Marie Lake from Seldon Pass...

Unfortunately, as you can see from the above photos, the thunderstorms were back this evening and the ladies were pounded by rain, wind and hail as they camped at Sallie Keyes Lakes...
