Pretty alpine meadows amid the high Peaks of the Wind Rivers near Lake 10542 on the way to Europe Pass. The peak looming ahead to the north, hides Europe Pass and the fifth/last lake on the way to Europe Pass.
The bigger cairn marking Europe Canyon Alternate Trail Start is next to Valley LakeTrail on the north side.
Lower center is the bigger cairn that marks the start of Europe Canyon Alternate Trail Start. Head straight up the center to pick up more obvious trail in the trees.
Medina Mountain, 11,541 ft. (center), looms in the distance. The tiny cairn in the lower left corner marks the start of Europe Canyon Trail. Seen looking west on Valley Lake Trail.
Looking west across Valley Lake from Valley Lake Trail, Medina Mountain, 11,541 ft. (left), is not too far away.
