Write Up:
Another beautiful day in the Rockies and 14 hikers enjoyed the amazing views and hike to Helen lake and the ridge between Helen lake and Katherine lake. Our group later split in two and Karen's group while hiking back spotted about 12 Ptarmigan or grouse on the return trail. Susan's group went exploring - descending off the ridge to check out Katherine lake and then a smaller lake further away which we named 'Lake Andrea' ;-) From there it was a short hop, skip and jump to Dolomite Pass where we enjoyed our second lunch. We saw many marmots between the ridge and Katherine lake. Amazing varied scenery all day!
