Blue Lakes & Waterfalls
On Saturday, Amanda and I headed a little south to Ouray and then proceeded up Camp Bird Road and into Yankee Boy Basin. Our destination was to hike to Blue Lakes Pass so that I could scout out the route up Mount Sneffels along the way for a future hike/climb.

I was planning on stopping and hiking to Twin Falls for some close-up photos, but when we got back there it started to storm pretty good. Instead of stopping there we headed up Imogene Basin a little ways. When we reached some of the waterfalls the rain finally let up, so I was able to take a few more photos there.

After taking these photos we headed back into Ouray and grabbed some burgers from Cafe Ouray which were pretty good. After dinner we headed back home.
