Hike to Velma lakes from Emerald Bay trailhead


This hike went to the high country where there are many lakes surrounded by granite. There were few new flowers on this hike.


 This is Eagle lake, less than 1 mile from the parking lot. The wind was still allowing for a good reflection photo




 Reaching the crest we could see the snow remaining on the ridge lines.



 One new flower is Alpine Laurel.




 Had our snack at this small lake that is fed by Upper Velma lake and feeds Lower Velma lake.






 On the way back to the cars we saw this waterfall across a big valley from the trail we were on.





Stellars Jay



Portion of Eagle creek just above the bridge.












 About 8.5 miles and 2300 feet. We could have cut across to upper velma around the south side of the pond we had lunch at....but didn't think of it at the time.
