The following day Andra took this photo from our camp before we left on our longest hike. This is Rush Creek at the back of our camp, just as it flows over a waterfall and into Gem Lake (background). Later I take a picture looking back to this spot so you can see the waterfall.
Today we are walking past Waugh Lake and into those mountains you see in the background. Our destination is Mary Lakes at the headwaters of Rush Creek. The entire Rush Creek drainage is very pretty.

Rush Creek (in normal years), has very swift currents. There are several makeshift log bridges like this one where various trails intersect the creek.
