A Solo Hike Along the Silver Divide

The golden morning light on the Silver Divide over Anne Lake. To the right, it looks like good cross-country to be had up there.

The Shores of Anne Lake

Silver Divide Trip from Edison Lake Trailhead, August 2001

The walking was much better heading towards the outlet, and a short stroll brought me to a small shallow bay flanked by stunted trees. There were some marvelously flat sandy areas and stone benches near the outlet, and an easy place to cross the stream.

The view from near the outlet of Anne Lake. Graveyard Peak is the high point.

Looking back across the lake, the mirror reflections and clear waters captivated my interest. The unusual black bands across the lake also tweaked my curiosity. This was the kind of high living at timberline I looked forward to.
