Tarn we cooled off in
Today was hike #75 of 2009
My BFF has never done Summerland Trail and it's my favorite trail in the Sunrise area. If you want to see Marmots this is the place to go! There are at least 3 families living here and they put on a show for me every single time. Today there was 5-6 sitting on the rocks being lazy and more in the meadows stocking up for winter. They like to eat around noon in the meadows fyi. I've got them figured out 3 years coming to this trail at least twice a year if not more. Annie and I went past summerland to the small tarns and took a dip. It was very cold but totally worth it. They seemed smaller than I remembered from last year. Another group was doing jumping in as we left, they had the right idea. We saw more marmots on the way down took a ton more photos and loved the red and yellow colors coming out right now, it was another wonderful trip.
