The valley ahead is the start of the Pine Creek drainage, high up here near Summit Lake. Pine Creek and its tributaries eventually flow into Fremont Lake, and on to Pinedale. Looking south from the CDT near Summit Lake on a gorgeous September morning.

One of many small lakes in the high country, passed by Summit Lake Trail. Rugged peaks of the Wind Rivers are seen in the distance to the east here.
Summit Lake as seen from its south end. Directly to the north (center), the valley of the creeks that become the Green River, drops off in the distance.

The upper reaches of Pine Creek, just about a half mile from Summit Lake, its source, are in the steep sided valley ahead. The trail, going south, descends to cross the creek and then climb out of the creek valley in the distance.
