Hyas Lake is 2 miles of easy hiking from the Deception Creek trailhead.

On the way to Tuck Lake we get a nice view of Cathedral Rock and the Hyas Lakes.

A look across the valley to Mt. Daniel.

Nearing Tuck Lake we can see the ridge we need to cross to reach Robin Lakes.

rodman took this photo of me on the north summit of Granite Mtn (7144').

From Granite's north summit we watch a group of hikers give back 150 feet of elevation as they work their way down to a snowfield that will give them access to the east side of upper Robin Lake.

The hiker's are on the snowfield.

Unnamed tarns below Granite's north summit.

Our next objective will be the south summit of Granite Mtn (7080').

We have to give back several hundred feet of elevation and drop down to this unnamed tarn before we start up to the south summit.

Looking down on the French Potholes from Granite's south summit.

From Granite's south summit we see The Cradle, Aasgard Pass, Dragontail, Colchuck, Harding, Argonaut, Stuart, and Solomon.

Looking over to Granite's north summit from the south summit.

We've hiked back over to upper Robin Lake and will take a high route around the east side of the lake and go over to Trico Mtn at the far end of the lake.
