There were lots of maturing tadpoles, and a few adult toads, in these little lakes; they have only a few weeks to grow up.
One of two pretty tarns we explored near camp 3.This was a "short" day, only about 5.4 miles (including a mile or so day hike up Center Basin) and 1900 feet of climbing.
Sue at our tent, Camp 3. We are just below Center Peak at 11,200 feet, and tucked into the last trees we will see until the far side of Forester Pass.
