After putting it off and putting it off, I finally woke up early, bound and determined to reach the peak of Flattop Mtn - 4.3miles up with almost 3,000ft in elevation gained.

| Bear Lake - looking towards Hallett Peak on the left and Flattop Mtn on the right |
 |
| Looking down towards Dream Lake |
 |
| Looking out towards Bierstadt Lake (left) and Sprague Lake (right) |
 |
| Looking up towards Hallett, nearly above treeline. |
 |
| Looking down towards Emerald Lake |
 |
| Getting closer! |
 |
| Ptarmigan! |
 |
| Might not look so bad, but with the cold and the wind this part of the trail kicked my butt |
 |
| Next time: making the journey across the Divide to Grand Lake |
 |
| In between Flattop and Hallett, looking down towards Dream and Sprague Lake |
 |
| Looking at the peak of Hallett, with Tyndall Glacier in the foreground |
 |
| Arctic Gentians - a sure sign that summer is nearly over |
