Wildfire smoke makes a hazy summer morning on Bowman Lake.
Start early for a better chance of calm, glassy water.
Pausing on a small beach.
Paddlers on the lake.
A curious young black bear near Bowman Lake.
Looking back toward the end of the lake.
Snowfields and a waterfall high above the lake.
Calm water makes a near-perfect mirror.
Fixed on the destination.
Secluded shores of Bowman Lake.
Beautiful scenery everywhere you look.
Save energy and supplies for the return trip!
