Looking down off of the Audubon-Paiute traverse ridge to the Blue Lakes basin area, where some fun route finding leads you to the trail skirting the lake and back to your vehicle. Note the waterfall on the right (west) side of the lake, a spectacular photo op you don't want to miss! The descent traverses the rock on the right to the draw in the center of the picture, then to the lake. IU Trekkers Outing, Summer, 2004.
