THU. 5 August 1999. Sunny. Up the steep switchbacks with Katja, toward the Durrand glacier. On the snow, walked around Mirror lake, great, some patches of turquoise water, bugs in the snow, reflections of the mountains. We keep meeting the kids who are hiking with grandpa. More bum sliding. Went with Kristen to see the glacier, pretty impressive. After snacks, we sat outside on the deck and laughed a lot.
