We first passed Lake Nokoni in the dark and then made our way to Lake Nanita, arriving just before sunrise. I setup on the southeastern shore and waited for the sun to warm Ptarmigan Mountain before me.

The mountain only glowed for a minute or two and then the bright sun began to creep down the mountain. I packed up and Dave and I made our way back down to Lake Nokoni for a short rest before heading on to Ptarmigan Lake.
