Delta Lake via Lupine Meadows Trailhead

08/05/19

First off, this is a 9-mile hike, not 7 (source: my garmin). It's a pretty steady incline until you drop into the beginning of the unmaintained Delta Lake trail which is the last mile to the lake. Let me tell you, it was a hard mile but once you get to the lake, all that pain of climbing went numb. It's absolutely incredible! Bring proper clothing as the weather drastically changed at the start of our descent - thunder, lightning, hail and down pour. Other than that, it was a long but rewarding day on the mountain!
