You seriously need to read Ingunn's blog post about hiking Lake Twenty Two first. And then look at my photos. It's like two different planets.
We encountered some serious fog on this ~7 mile hike around Lake Twenty Two. Not to mention some serious out-of-breathed-ness on that 1,300 foot incline as I am way out of shape. Nonetheless, we trudged onwards and found snow at the top of our journey. I'm fairly certain the fog was hiding some amazing views, although it did make for an interesting photographic effect.
On our way down, we encountered some skinny rodent-like creature that neither of us have seen before. Too long in the torso to be a mouse. It's a mystery.
Name that creature!

I think that's some sort of Marten - cool!! They're relatively rare, a very cool sighting (to make up for the lack of views)...it looks young, too!
Ah, my roommate saw the photo and exclaimed that it was a marten, so that's two people with the same hunch. Promising.
It would have had to have been a baby then! It super tiny compared to Marten pics on the internet.
You are so right - that first picture is like the scene where Sam and Frodo get lost in the bogs. Maybe the skinny creature was a mini Gollum!
These pics are crazy.
