Chris: Thanks for the report and the pictures.
Staying several days and nights at Horseshoe Meadows is a great way to get ready for the altitude.
Lots of people dip and drink the water, especially that place on the switchbacks. You won't have any problems.
Last year, I followed your advice about HM for acclimatization and this year about dipping/drinking in the last switchbacks.
Thanks a million, kind sir!
