Chasm Lake is at the top of Longs Peak under the famous rock climbing location called "The Diamond". The lake is actually over 1000 feet strait down from the summit. The Diamond is actually a very sheer cliff that is a BASE jumpers dream, well other than the fact that you would be landing at over 13,000 ft MSL.
A lovely little creek on the way up the mountain
One of several little lakes that Chasm Lake drained into. The view from right above the little lake was quite breath taking.
Climbing up the screefield to the lake
Hmmmmm....looks like I make a friend
After this trip I knew I needed a real hiking pack that could carry a lot more water and supplies, although I still make Derek carry all the heavy stuff.
