Day Hike to Lower & Upper Mohawk Lakes

07/17/16

First arriving at the trail head parking was a hassle. There were tons of people all over the place. We had to park about 3/4 of a mile from the trail head. Once we got to the trail head we were on a moderately difficult hike, along beautiful wild flowers and some streams. After you get to the ruins of what seems to be an old mining operation, you get the chance to see a large waterfall and extraordinary views of the distant mountains. Continuing up to the first lake I was a little disappointed, so we decided to head up to the second lake and it made it all worth the trip. We saw a beautiful lake and even some mountain goats!
