We decided to revisit the quiet and relatively unknown lake of Lagunillo Misterioso, an enchanting place. We would then drop down the streams to see possibly the highest waterfall in the Sierra Nevada, the Chorreras de Molinillo.

Kiersten and I fancied escaping the heat and spending a few hours in the cool air at 3000m. Our target was the upper Guarnón valley below Veleta's northern face, an area of streams and green, lush grasses amid a sea of stones. The area was teeming with nature's sounds, sights and smells.

This was an interesting day. Interesting as it crossed some terrain I have never trodden before, threading the Raspones ridge. We started at Posiciones at 3000m, using the National park bus to gain altitude. Round the old road to the Refugio Carihuela, then over the vertical Paso de los Guias
