Ruby Lake at 8am
After bagging both Pigeon and Turret, we were all ready to hike out of Ruby Basin and back to civilization. We woke up rather early and broke camp. On our way hiking out, I got this amazing picture of Ruby Lake at 8am.

Georgia Crossing the Creek
We crossed a couple of streams on our way back to Needleton Station. Here’s Georgia traversing a log.

Our Foot Dangle, outside the train, a couple hundred feet over the Animas River! We were told to pull em’ back in almost immediately. It was worth it though, this picture is rad!
