This is a gorgeous lake! The last couple miles of the hike were much more strenuous than expected, although taking a dip in the lake the next morning made it all worth it. Unfortunately we didn't hit the trail early enough and ran out of daylight hiking/climbing over rock the last mile of the trail in the DARK. Also keep in mind the rocky trail is ruff on dogs feet, one dog did okay the other was pretty tore up. Definitely worth doing but be prepared with more time than you think and a good headlamp just in case. Plenty of creeks to filter water on the hike and good camp spots once you get up towards the lakes. only saw a handful of people on a weekday. Check with ranger station as to status of the road, one road is washed out/closed at the moment. Enjoy!
