Meridian Peak | Eagles Nest Wilderness
July 2022
Beginning from Surprise Lake Trailhead, I initiated my hike towards Surprise Lake first, passing Cat Lake and Upper Cataract Lake next. Initially met with cloudy skies and rain, the weather soon cleared, revealing tranquil solitude. Amidst Mirror Lake and the enchanting Cataract Creek Basin, I made my way towards the unique Elliot Ridge as dusk approached.
