Day 2 (Monday)

After a cold and fidgety night, I declare that I don't want to spent another cold night at that tent site, I suggest that we camp at the lower campsite that we'd seen instead. We figured that nobody would mind since we had reservations for 2 nights and that if that campsite was full, we could still hike all the way out.

So, we go on a day hike that morning to see Egypt Lake itself and a few other lakes in the area. Unfortunately, we couldn't figure out how to get to Mummy Lake (the trail signs were confusing) and since we didn't bring lunch and needed to hike down to the lower campsite that day, we had to give up and go back to camp. We did see a few nice places:




After lunch, we pack up and start to hike back up to Healy Pass. We take a little sidetrip up the ramparts and see some really fabulous views:




When we get to Healy Pass, Sachi suddenly exclaims that he sees the grizzly! I'm shocked since it's just a really tiny, basically a moving spec at the bottom of the valley. It's somewhere in the picture below, the arrow should help, hehe.



The whole day, we don't see anyone on the trails, and we eventually get to the lower camping area. There is nobody there and we get to pick the best campsite, right beside a creek. So, we can wash up, refill and sleep to the sound of the rumbling creek. Very nice! Plus it's much warmer too, hehe.
