Barry's Group - 5.9 miles



Up toward a saddle between two mountains - looking back
 





Rock formations that hold water - little oblong ponds. Keep to the right on the trail to get to this area. 





A rock balancing - can see the sky under the top rock


Looking back at a snow-covered mountain range in the distance.

The trail is marked with a caron. We turn right on the trail to go around this rock and start to double back on the other side.
