After spending some quality time in Crown Basin, we started the hike up toward the ridgeline that separates Crown from Blackcap Basin. This is looking back at the big meadow that we used to let the llamas graze in while we camped up on a sandy area out of the mosquitoes.
Looking forward toward the upper reaches of Blackcap Basin. Before getting there, we crossed through and around lush meadows and creeks.
One of the two little unnamed lakes in upper Crown Basin. At some point back in the 50s and 60s, people used to come here in the fall for fishing and deer hunting.
