Peggy and Gershwin at the south end of Twin Lakes, near our campsite.
Our first night there, we saw plenty of deer and up close too.
This deer was quite curious, and we later learned that people (unfortunately) feed them, hence their willingness to get close to humans.
Two young male deer, likely brothers, traveling through the brush.
A view the the "Matterhorn", as it is known, photographed from Twin Lakes.

The trail head to Barney Lake, about a 10 mile hike to 8500 feet in altitude.
The trail to Barney Lake includes walking through several beautiful alpine meadows.
We arrive at Barney Lake. A spectacular destination!

Deer in the campground! There were three baby deer accompanied by their mother.
The youngest may have been 18-20" tall, making it likely only a few weeks old.
We also did a lot of cycling. The road circumvents the Twin Lakes area, some paved, some dirt.
An expanded view of some of the surrounding rock, as seen from our bike ride.
The youngest of the deer we saw, perhaps a few weeks old and still spotted.
