Why You Should Go Now
  • Ripe berries
Be Aware Of
  • Bugs
Great hike to Rachel Lake--almost the whole hike is shady and you get a (chilly!) swim at the end of it, so it was perfect for a warm day. The last uphill mile or so was a little tricky but really not as bad as I thought it would be. The only drawback was it was pretty buggy so we never wanted to stop for long. It seemed better at the lake, but judging from the number of bites on my feet, I was just distracted by the beauty and didn't notice the little suckers biting me while my boots were off!
