General Account
this type of a canyon
until it nearly reach the
J.M. Trail. At which point
it begins to broaden out
into a typical high
glacial valley. A low
rounded type with low
and thin ridges down the
center. Walker Lake,
alt 11470, is set in a
cirque well up against
a precipitous unnamed
ridge. It is quite large
in extent and from all
appearances very deep.
There were no fish in the
lake and there being only
a short grass vegetation
about the lake being above
timber line. From Walker
Lake we climbed the gap
to the south and came
upon Wales Lake. alt. 11733.
This is the most beautiful
of the two lakes because
of the setting, because of
the rugged ridge of Mt.
Young in the background.
Returned to camp by 4:00 P.M.
