Ice Lake Basin

We next headed for the high country of southwestern Colorado, where we did a short backpack, in the San Juan Mountains, to a high-elevation mountain basin ringed with scenic, craggy peaks. I had come down with a bit of a bug those few days, and I wasn't feeling well at all. Still, I made it up to our 12,000+ foot base camp, and the next day we climbed an unnamed 13,500-foot peak. Quite a contrast from the desert we were in just days before!
