Tourmaline Tarn

Sarah and I went exploring to Tourmaline Tarn today. Only half a mile from Lake Odessa, but rarely visited, it is a beautiful lake set in the cirque below Knobtop and Gabletop. We followed a faint trail up Tourmaline Creek, through a lush forest, small meadows, and little cascades.

Route finding was more difficult as we approached the tarn, but we arrived in time to see the sun turning the tarn a brilliant shade of green before the clouds closed in.

We finally stopped for lunch back at Lake Odessa where the sun came out to warm us up.
