Delta Lake via Lupine Meadows Trailhead

09/02/16

I got to the Lupine Meadows Trailhead around 8:30 on a Monday and the parking lot was already pretty crowded. It took me around 2 hours to get to the lake. The cairns through the boulder fields are not very obvious but there are actually packed down trails and you don't go through either boulder field for very long. I thought this would be a pretty remote hike and there wouldn't be a lot of people, and from the comments about it being an "unmaintained" trail I thought it would provide to be pretty difficult route finding. This was not the case. The trail seems to get quite a bit of traffic and has been pretty packed down, making it a rather obvious route the majority of the way. I did this hike alone and had no problems. I stayed at the lake for about an hour and saw around 20 other people. Definitely worth it.
