Deb with bad headache and throwing up lead to a diagnosis of altitude sickness and so she retired to bed to try and sleep it off.

Henry armed himself with maps, water, pack and keys to Robin's truck and headed off to locate and hike at Bear Lake.  After negotiating the park car and shuttle ride system arrived at Bear Lake.

Hiked to Bear, Nymph, Dream and Emerald Lakes.  About 4 miles round trip and gain of 600 feet to Emerald Lake.  Spectacular views and a pleasant trail.
