Meadows & Tarn above Lake Ediza, Ritter Range Backpacking Trip, July 2013

I spent two days exploring the beautiful, wide glacial cirque valley to the SW of Ediza. It is full of meadows crisscrossed by streams flowing down from the northern segment of the Minarets. And it contained the best display of flowering heather I have seen. At its top is an amazing small tarn set at the base of Leonard Minerat. And its SW ridge has an outstanding view down on Iceberg Lake.
