The next morning, we were up and out early to beat the mossies. The walk up to our first destination of the day – Black & White Lakes (yes, named after the whisky – long story), was incredibly steep.
But once we broke through to the alpine zone (at about 4000 feet), the scenery opened up and we found ourselves in bright sunshine and a swathe of wildflowers – here’s an avalanche lily (and Karen).
The views from the highest point were stunning.
But not as tempting the lakes themselves – we had a lovely long swim here and then had lunch enjoying the view.
It was then a roller-coastery walk across to our campsite for night two at Flapjack Lake itself…
