What is ID3v2 audio tags?
ID3v2 is tag format of many types of audio files (MP3, AAC and other).
ID3v2 was supposed to be the next generation of ID3v1 tags. It improves on ID3v1 by putting the tag at the beginning of the file for streaming and ID3v1 tags backwards compatibility. Also, ID3v2 has no set length on the characters in a tag and a total maximum size of 256 megabytes. Binary data, such as photos, are also supported in ID3v2. ID3v2 supports all ID3v1 tag, too many to list here, with more being added.
ID3v2 supports Unicode so that internationalized tags can be used. You can use ANSI characters on the tags too.
Mp3 Tag Assistant Professional support for up to 35 ID3v2 tag fields, including multi-line comment and lyrics tags, attached pictures (cover art / artwork). Support Compilation and BPM tags also.

Each year our hospital provides veterinary care to those pets most in need in the greater Nashua and Northern Massachusetts pet communities. We enjoy giving back to our community through our philanthropic efforts.
We feel it is important to do so. We share a wonderful partnership with the Humane Society for Greater Nashua which allows us to help many pets throughout the year. One way we help Humane Society pets is by offering basic surgical and dental care (i.e. spays and neuters or mass removals).
Another way we help Humane Society pets is through our Holiday Pet Photo Shoots, hosted three times a year – Halloween, Christmas, and Easter – where all proceeds go directly to the shelter. We further enjoy participating and sponsoring Humane Society programs and events which include the "Save the Heart" Campaign; the Annual Gala, Walk for Whiskers.
We look for additional ways to support the pet community at large by donating our services to help pets in need throughout the year. Listed below are some of the local Nashua area pet charities and non-profit organizations that we enjoy supporting.

If you haven't heard the name Matamba yet, you soon will. Matamba is a Bolivian roots reggae and hard rock artist (he performs and creates music in both genres), who in the last few years has become a household name in Bolivia and will be the first Bolivian artist to "break" onto the international scene. Matamba has performed throughout South America, Central America, parts of Europe and will soon participate in the 9 Mile Music Festival in Miami, Florida, in March with big-name artists such as Julian Marley, DMX, Capleton, Sizzla, Rihanna, and others.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves, before we get into what Matamba does, we need to get into who he is. Matamba is an Afro-Bolivian, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to an Argentine father and Afro-Peruvian mother, whose family later relocated to Santa Cruz, the second city and commercial center of Bolivia, where he grew up in the "hood" which shaped the man he is today. Matamba is not only a singer, but a musician, producer, lyricist, writer, and composer whose musical origins, like most artists in the African diaspora, started in the church where he met other people with a love and passion for music.

About Disc Dish
DiscDish.com is a DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D website dedicated to the most notable movies and TV shows on disc. We feature new release details and reviews of all the mainstream, big Hollywood movies, from animated family movies like Toy Story 3 to popular horror films like the Saw franchise.
But we also dish about the best in independent films (Blue Valentine), classic movies (Citizen Kane) and other titles worth looking at, like TV shows (Modern Family) and even those cheesy monster and horror movies (Sharktopus) that can be so much fun to chew on.
As movie lovers and journalists, we don't just tell you the release dates and disc specs. We write about the movies and what makes them notable on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D, so you can best decide if they belong in your collection. Check out our full list of upcoming DVD and Blu-ray releases.
In our reviews, we rate each DVD and Blu-ray in dishes — of course! — five being the best of the best. We rate the main feature, the audio and video quality and the overall package. For the overall rating, the movie or TV show gets the most weight, but a disc can get fewer dishes if we think the special features should have been better.

View Full Version : sles11 sp4 dvd1 : installation fails problems in iso image?
We downloadedskes11 sp4 dvd2 from novell website. But installation fails with several rpms not getying installed. We tried with 2 -3 different machines and by making 3 separate dvds from the iso image downloaded. Even when a pen drive based installation is done it still fails leading us to believe that there is some issue with iso image. Any clues?or any new iso images available ?
download is bad then nothing it creates will be good.
the SLES 12 code is newer, will be supported longer, etc.
> the SLES 12 code is newer, will be supported longer, etc.
want to use SLES12 SP1.
> machines and by making 3 separate dvds from the iso image downloaded.
> new iso images available ?
your message - to install SLES you need DVD1.
Um, er, how did I typo that? Sheesh... sorry for any confusion.


Isaias Afewerki was born in Asmara, Eritrea, in 1936. He is the current and first President of Eritrea. He joined the liberation movements in Eritrea in 1966, he was eventually trained in a military academy in China. Upon his return, he headed his own liberation movement, the Eritrean People's Liberation Front. He thus played a leading role in obtaining Eritrean independence, which was achieved in 1993. He became Eritrea's first president the same year.

Denmark and its capital, Copenhagen, are synonymous with bikes and design. The two things collide in a small, dusty shop with a big reputation – Sögreni Bikes, who handbuild their own bicycles to customers' preferences.
At the shop's helm is the scruffy and rambunctious Søren Sögreni. Despite his T-shirt-and-shorts appearance, the founder is a man in demand. If mainstream design companies are after showpiece bikes, he's their guy.
The shop's centrepiece when BikeRadar visited was a stunning, lustrous silver urban bike made for Georg Jensen, a Danish jewellery and ornament designer. The powder coated finish had taken an age to perfect, said Sögreni.
Sögreni just designs and builds the bicycles now. Frames are made elsewhere ("in Europe, to our specifications"), although he used to make those too. Aged 18 and with no qualifications other than a driving licence, he created his first frame while working as a cinema operator. Soon, friends wanted one.
Word spread, but it wasn't easy in the early days. In the 1980s, Copenhagen wasn't the cycling utopia into which it's grown, Sögreni recalled. Even after setting up shop in Sankt Peders Stræde, he supplemented bike-building with cinema shifts and work as a discothèque bouncer.
Sögreni claims to have been the first designer in the modern era to make flat and wooden mudguards – something he's being doing for a quarter of a century. Business in general is now good, though he says he doesn't make money on bike builds – they take too long and margins are small. Instead, accessories and maintenance provide bread for his table.
Many orders come from overseas, possibly thanks to Copenhagen's global reputation; if you're after a stunning urban bike, why not head to the city where the bicycle rules?
Danes, on the other hand, Sögreni complained, see bikes as utilitarian, functional – disposable, almost. He pointed to the sorted array of nuts, bolts and bearings individually coated in a special anti-rust protection on the dining room table. He is the only builder in the world using the coating, he said.
"It's difficult to convince Danes to wait for the bike and get this quality. They think that it makes more sense to buy a factory-made bike, which is extremely stupid, because when you use it in the winter time, in the salt and the snow, it corrodes. Not this," he said with a flourish.
The ranks of unpainted frames, the dazzling bells and pedals, the special edition bikes, the untidy dining room table and not least the witty, eccentric presence of the owner himself make a visit to Sögreni Bikes well worthwhile.
BikeRadar asked Søren three simple questions.
1. What's the coolest thing in the shop at the moment?
I don't know. But people love our bells a lot. I will let people decide, and they really like the bells. For me, I have a lot of cool stuff.
2. What are you lusting after now?
I want to finish my projects, but the problem is we're a small company and we have to get bread on the table every day. We have a sidecar that has a patent, an idea for a wooden bike, and a lot of different things coming. There are a lot of projects on the way, but they take time and money.
3. What's your current bestseller?
That's the bells. I was inspired by my mudguards and I thought, 'Why not make a flat bell?' They're spreading more and more.

The Moment Of Lift - How Empowering Women Changes The World (Paperback)
Melinda Gates 1
For the last twenty years, Melinda Gates has been on a mission. Her goal, as co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has been to find solutions for people with the most urgent needs, wherever they live. Throughout this journey, one thing has become increasingly clear to her: if you want to lift a society up, invest in women.
Candid and inspiring, in The Moment Of Lift, Gates traces her awakening to the link between women's empowerment and the health of societies. She shows some of the tremendous opportunities that exist right now to 'turbo-charge' change. And she provides simple and effective ways each one of us can make a difference. Convinced that all women should be free to decide whether and when to have children, Gates took her first step onto the global stage to make a stand for family planning. That step launched her into further efforts: to ensure women everywhere have access to every kind of job; to encourage men around the globe to share equally in the burdens of household work; to advocate for paid family leave for everyone; to eliminate gender bias in all its forms.
Throughout, Gates introduces us to her heroes in the movement towards equality, offers startling data, shares moving conversations she's had with women from all over the world – and shows how we can all get involved.
A personal statement of passionate conviction, this book tells of Gates' journey from a partner working behind the scenes to one of the world's foremost advocates for women, driven by the belief that no one should be excluded, all lives have equal value, and gender equality is the lever that lifts everything.
Crushing It - How Great Entrepreneurs Build Their Business And Influence And How You Can, Too (Paperback)
Gary Vaynerchuk 2
Four-time New York Times bestselling author Gary Vaynerchuk offers new lessons and inspiration drawn from the experiences of dozens of influencers and entrepreneurs who rejected the predictable corporate path in favor of pursuing their dreams by building thriving businesses and extraordinary personal brands.
In his 2009 international bestseller Crush It, Gary insisted that a vibrant personal brand was crucial to entrepreneurial success, In Crushing It!, Gary explains why that's even more true today, offering his unique perspective on what has changed and what principles remain timeless. He also shares stories from other entrepreneurs who have grown wealthier—and not just financially—than they ever imagined possible by following Crush It principles. The secret to their success (and Gary's) has everything to do with their understanding of the social media platforms, and their willingness to do whatever it took to make these tools work to their utmost potential. That's what Crushing It! teaches readers to do.
In this lively, practical, and inspiring book, Gary dissects every current major social media platform so that anyone, from a plumber to a professional ice skater, will know exactly how to amplify his or her personal brand on each. He offers both theoretical and tactical advice on how to become the biggest thing on old standbys like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat; podcast platforms like Spotify, Soundcloud, iHeartRadio, and iTunes; and other emerging platforms such as Musical.ly. For those with more experience, Crushing It! illuminates some little-known nuances and provides innovative tips and clever tweaks proven to enhance more common tried-and-true strategies.
Crushing It! is a state-of-the-art guide to building your own path to professional and financial success, but it's not about getting rich. It's a blueprint to living life on your own terms.
This Is Me - Loving The Person You Are Today (Hardcover)
An inspirational book about life and its lessons from the Golden Globe and Emmy nominated star of NBC's This Is Us.
When This Is Us debuted in fall 2016, a divided America embraced a show that celebrates human connection. The critically acclaimed series became America's most watched—and most talked about—network show, even building on its fan base in the drama's second season. As Kate Pearson, Chrissy Metz presents a character that has never been seen on television, yet viewers see themselves in her, no matter what they look like or where they come from. Considered a role model just for being her authentic self, Chrissy found herself on magazine covers and talk shows, walking red carpets, and as the subject of endless conversations on social media "I don't know what you've been through to play her," she is often told by fans, "but it was something."
In This is Me, Chrissy Metz shares her story with a raw honesty that will leave readers both surprised but also inspired. Infused with the same authenticity she brings to her starring role, Chrissy's This is Me is so much more than your standard Hollywood memoir or collection of personal essays. She embraces the spirit of Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes, and shares how she has applied the lessons she learned from both setbacks and successes. A born entertainer, Chrissy finds light in even her darkest moments, and leaves the reader feeling they are spending time with a friend who gets it.
Chrissy Metz grew up in a large family, one that always seemed to be moving, and growing. Her father disappeared one day, leaving her mother to work a series of menial jobs and his children to learn to live with the threat of hunger and the electricity being cut off. When her mother remarried, Chrissy hoped for "normal" but instead experienced a form of mental pain that seemed crafted just for her. The boys who showed her attention did so with strings attached as well, and Chrissy accepted it, because for her, love always came with conditions.
When she set out for Los Angeles, it was the first time she had been away from her family and from Florida. And for years, she got barely an audition. So how does a woman with the deck stacked against her radiate such love, beauty and joy? This too is at the heart of This is Me.
With chapters that alternate from autobiographical to instructional, Chrissy offers practical applications of her hard-won insights in a series of "Bee Mindful" interstitials. There she invites you to embrace gratitude in "Say Thank You" or to be honest with your partner and yourself in "The Shrouded Supreme." Blending love and experience, Chrissy encourages us all to claim our rightful place in a world that may be trying to knock us down, find our own unique gifts, and pursue our dreams.

The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck - A Counterintuitive Approach To Living A Good Life (Paperback)
Mark Manson 2
For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mindset that has infected society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f*ck about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience.
A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-inthe-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them truly lead contented, grounded lives.
Can't Hurt Me - Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds (Paperback)
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes.
The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America.
In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

Let Love Have The Last Word - A Memoir (Hardcover)
Common-the Grammy Award, Academy Award, and Golden Globe-winning musician, actor, and activist-follows up his New York Times bestselling memoir One Day It'll All Make Sense with this inspiring exploration of how love and mindfulness can build communities and allow you to take better control of your life through actions and words.
Common believes that the phrase "let love have the last word" is not just a declaration; it is a statement of purpose, a daily promise. Love is the most powerful force on the planet and ultimately, the way you love determines who you are and how you experience life. Touching on God, self-love, partners, children, family, and community, Common explores the core tenets of love to help others understand what it means to receive and, most important, to give love. He moves from the personal - writing about his daughter, to whom he wants to be a better father - to the universal, where he observes that our society has become fractured under issues of race and politics. He knows there's no quick remedy for all of the hurt in the world, but love - for yourself and for others - is where the healing begins.
Courageous, insightful, brave, and characteristically authentic, Let Love Have the Last Word shares Common's own unique and personal stories of the people and experiences that have led to a greater understanding of love and all it has to offer. It is a powerful call to action for a new generation of open hearts and minds, one that is sure to resonate for years to come.

The Pleasure Principle - Epicureanism: a Philosophy for Modern Living (Hardcover)
Catherine Wilson 1
In our troubled world, looking back to ancient wisdom can shed light on fresh solutions. For years, many of us have upheld the Stoic belief in `no pain, no gain.' But when the pace of modern life and the demands of jobs and family overwhelm us, punishing exercise regimes, productivity apps and early morning starts may not be the best solution. According to the pleasure-centric philosophy of Epicureanism, life can be good without great sacrifice. By consciously practicing `choice and avoidance' - by being strategic about our recreational, professional and familial pursuits - we can live with less fear and regret. By understanding our place in a world that came about by chance, we can gain greater perspective on our role within it and where our priorities should lie. No honest philosopher can give you a formula for happiness, but in The Pleasure Principle, Professor Catherine Wilson explores how Epicureanism can provide a framework for thinking about life's key issues, including family, death, politics, religion, wealth, science, and love.
Super Thinking - Upgrade Your Reasoning and Make Better Decisions with Mental Models (Paperback)
Gabriel Weinberg 1
Turn yourself into a superthinker and make the right decisions every time. You want to make better decisions. You want to be right more of the time professionally and personally. However, being more right consistently is a hard problem because the world is such a complex, evolving place. How do you navigate this complexity? Mental models are decision-making tools that guide our perception of the world and our behaviour in it. They help us understand life, make decisions and solve problems. The best models help us make intelligent investments, develop ground-breaking technologies and even travel to outer space. - Note your frame of reference before debating someone with different political views. If you understand how your perspective contrasts with someone else's you can prevent the conversation from getting hostile. - Apply the sunk cost fallacy to the end of a doomed project. Just because you've put a lot of hours into it doesn't mean that you have to keep going. - Before blaming someone, consider Hanlon's Razor, 'Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by carelessness'. - Try to solve mysteries with Occam's Razor, 'Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected'. When you hear hoof beats, think of horses not zebras. Building on our knowledge of well-known models such as the Bandwagon Effect or Paradigm Shift and introducing us to the lesser known like the Eisenhower Matrix or the Boiling Frog Symbol, this indispensable book distils the most effective mental models into a single, digestible volume. It will make even the most complex models accessible and engaging to enable you to make better, more informed decisions in every part of your life.

Having been taught to define themselves in light of other people-whether as wife, mother, daughter, friend, or team member-many women have forgotten who they are and what they were meant to be. In Girl, Stop Apologizing, entrepreneur and online personality (TheChicSite.com) Rachel Hollis encourages women to own their hopes, desires, and goals and reminds them they don't need permission to want more. With a call to women everywhere to stop talking themselves out of their dreams, Hollis identifies the excuses to let go of, the behaviors to adopt, and the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and the biggest possible version of their lives.

Option B - Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy (Paperback)
Sheryl Sandberg, Adam Grant 1
In 2015 Sheryl Sandberg's husband, Dave Goldberg, died suddenly at the age of forty-eight. Sandberg and her two young children were devastated, and she was certain that their lives would never have real joy or meaning again. Just weeks later, Sandberg was talking with a friend about the first father-child activity without a father. They came up with a plan for someone to fill in. "But I want Dave," she cried. Her friend put his arm around her and said, "Option A is not available. So let's just kick the shit out of Option B." Everyone experiences some form of Option B. We all deal with loss: jobs lost, loves lost, lives lost. The question is not whether these things will happen but how we face them when they do. Thoughtful, honest, revealing and warm, OPTION B weaves Sandberg's experiences coping with adversity with new findings from Adam Grant and other social scientists. The book features stories of people who recovered from personal and professional hardship, including illness, injury, divorce, job loss, sexual assault and imprisonment. These people did more than recover-many of them became stronger. OPTION B offers compelling insights for dealing with hardships in our own lives and helping others in crisis. It turns out that post-traumatic growth is common-even after the most devastating experiences many people don't just bounce back but actually bounce forward. And pre-traumatic growth is also possible: people can build resilience even if they have not experienced tragedy. Sandberg and Grant explore how we can raise strong children, create resilient communities and workplaces, and find meaning, love and joy in our lives. "Dave's death changed me in very profound ways," Sandberg writes. "I learned about the depths of sadness and the brutality of loss. But I also learned that when life sucks you under, you can kick against the bottom, break the surface and breathe again."
Stop Doing That Sh*t (Paperback)
From the author of the New York Times and international bestseller Unfu*k Yourself Gary John Bishop presents a no-holds-barred guide to breaking through our cycles of self-sabotage to get what we want out of life. In Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop told us it was time to stop making excuses- to recognize and take responsibility for the negative self-talk holding us back. In Stop Doing That Sh*t, he builds on that message, teaching us how to stop self-sabotaging behavior. Bishop explains how our destructive cycles come down to the way that we're wired. He then identifies different types of people and the ways we fu*k ourselves over: We can't save money. We land in the same type of toxic relationship. We're stuck in a rut at work. Analysing why we act the way we do, including what our common grenades are that blow up our lives, Bishop then shows how we can interrupt the cycle and stop self-sabotaging our lives. Written in the same in your face style as Unfu*k Yourself, Stop Doing that Sh*t will help us get in touch with our psychological machinery so we learn to interrupt negative thoughts and behaviour before they start, allowing us to give our attention to something else, and start to find success in the areas we thought we never could. We can take back our lives. We may have fu*ked up in the past, but Stop Doing That Sh*t will show us how to break the patterns in order to live the lives we yearn to have.

Palisades Lakes
Central Cascades - Mount Rainier National Park - Washington
Distance 8 mi
Time 5 hrs
Elevation Gain 1790 ft
Season Summer, Fall
Hike Info
Backpacking permit availabilities
Down, up, down, up… Follow this rolling trail through wildflower meadows fringed with subalpine forest and, higher, the dramatic palisades of the Sourdough Mountains, a ridge of Mount Rainier. You'll probably see more pikas than people, and it's one of the more reliable places in the park to spot elk, or at least their hoofprints and droppings.
When locals refer to The Mountain, they're talking about Mount Rainier. The Queen of the Cascades dominates the horizon for miles in every direction — when she's visible, which is fewer than 100 days per year, at least west of the Cascades. When you're longing for some mountain time but the weather looks blah, head to the mountain's northeast side hike to Palisades Lakes (note: the Sunrise Road is seasonal, typically open late June to mid-October). This is one of the few trails without a view of Rainier, but its other charms more than compensate. For one thing, 99.8 percent of the cars here are heading to the Sunrise visitor area a mile further up the road, so expect some welcome solitude on this trail. Park your car, glance back to see if The Mountain is peeking out, turn your back on it and the throngs, and head down the trail.
Lose about 500′ in the first 0.75 mile, first hiking out Sunrise Ridge, then dropping down its north side along a couple of switchbacks. Before leaving the top of the ridge, look for Highway 410 in the distance and the White River roaring far below.
At the half-mile point, just where a switchback changes direction, turn off the main trail and follow a short trail to a view of Sunrise Lake, the first on this multi-lake hike.
Return to the main trail and cross a talus field heading toward a copse of subalpine firs and Clover Lake, one mile distant. Stop, look, and listen for pikas, which whistle warnings and scurry among the rocks here. These cute critters look like rodents but are actually related to rabbits, as their large ears suggest. Because their preferred habitat is alpine, pikas are feeling the pressure of climate change. As temperatures warm, pikas are forced further upslope and may eventually run out of places they can live. Thankfully, they are still abundant here.
Head down into the trees and cross lovely subalpine meadows. Depending on the time of year, these could be bursting with Mount Rainier's famous wildflowers. In late summer, huckleberries, yarrow, pearly everlasting, and grasses take center stage and the foliage begins to change color. At one mile, reach Clover Lake, the second tarn of your trip. Social trails lead to the lakeshore and invite splashing on warm days.
Enjoy the scene, then return to the trail and start heading uphill. And uphill some more. In less than 0.2 mile reach a saddle with views of the Palisades, rocky cliffs on the eastern face of the Sourdough Mountains. You'll follow the bottom of these cliffs all the way to the turnaround point at Upper Palisades Lake.
Now it's down, down, downhill for about a half-mile, when another small lake peeks through the trees to your left. A few steps farther along, reach a sign for Dick's Lake Camp on your right. Yet another small lake nestles into the trees just beyond, and these three together are known as Tom, Dick, and Harry Lakes. Only Dick's Lake has a backcountry campsite and trail access. If camping here is not on the agenda, keep going, as these three lakes simply aren't as interesting as others on the hike.
Throughout the hike, notice what look like mini mountain ranges alongside the trail. These are tunnels dug by Mount Rainier's rodents, which include several varieties of voles. Many voles make their homes in the subalpine forest and meadow habitat that comprises most of this hike, and their mounds and tunnels are distinctive and ubiquitous.
One-third of a mile past Dick's Lake, cross a small stream and look up for an excellent view of the cliffs and rock fields below them. Lucky hikers might catch a glimpse of elk clattering across the talus high above. Grizzled hoary marmots clamber among the boulders, too.
A few steps down the trail, reach a sign for a 0.6-mile side trip to Hidden Lake. Turn left and follow this short, steep trail to a stunning, appropriately named lake at the base of the Palisades. Note the columnar basalt forming the cliffs, a sign of their volcanic origin. This is the largest lake on the hike and well worth the detour. Gulp some water (from your bottle, not the lake) and head back downhill to the trail and the last 0.8 mile to Upper Palisades Lake.
Back on the main trail, continue through broad, grassy meadows. This is another good place to look for elk. On a recent trip, we found elk prints over our boot prints coming and going, along with plenty of scat, although we never saw an elk. They were probably watching from safe vantage points deep in the trees.
Clear a low saddle and find yourself at the edge of a basin, the amber-rimmed teal jewel of Upper Palisades Lake glittering below sheer cliffs. Resist its siren song for just a bit longer and continue on the trail for another 0.15 mile to a sign marking the end of the maintained trail. Step carefully onto a rocky viewpoint and look down. This is as close as you'll get to Lower Palisades Lake nearly 400 vertical feet below.
Now retrace your steps back to the trail junction for Upper Palisades Lake, and follow any of several well-worn social trails to the shore. The Palisades loom above, plenty of rocks invite lounging, and the clear water may tempt you in for a cooling dip. You can explore all around the lake and even camp in one of three backcountry sites nearby (obtain a wilderness permit at the ranger station on the way in). Consider this: you've hiked past eight alpine lakes in about four miles. Which is your favorite?
To return to the trailhead, simply follow the main trail back, ignoring the side trails to Hidden and Sunrise Lakes. Two longish uphills await, one to the saddle above Clover Lake and one to the trailhead. Maybe you should relax at Upper Palisades Lake a big longer.
