Meaning “Gurgling River” in Crow, we followed the trail right from our campsite on Fiddler’s Lake to the sub-alpine Upper Silas Lake, for a 10.5 mile day hike .
A few miles into the South Shoshone we reached the gateway to The Wilderness.
When we sat down for a break, I definitely heard a gurgle.
At 10,400′, the waters of Upper Silas Lake were brilliantly cold from ice melt.
Our turn-around point was when a cow moose, grazing at the far end of a hyperion meadow, started at our stage whispers, looked up and said, “Please!”
Happy at altitude.
