UPPER FISH CREEK TRAIL TO MINE SHAFT SADDLE
AUGUST 2008

Photographs by Michael Charters




Most of the species seen on this hike have already been displayed on the previous Upper Fish Creek trail hike and so won't be displayed here. Also, the higher you go, the fewer species there are. But this is a great hike to Mine Shaft Saddle at 9930', with spectacular views of the surrounding peaks and down to Dry Lake far below. From this point you are only about 3-1/2 miles from the summit.
