Ingalls Lake & Mt. Stuart. marys
Beautiful day for this trail. Not too busy with people. We saw so much wildlife: several pikas, marmots, mountain goats, chipmunks and an unidentified bird of prey, not to mention dozens of songbirds and grasshoppers that sound like sprinklers when they fly.
As you get over the pass, follow the human-made stacks of rocks to the lake. We got off trail a couple of times, but just looked for the stacks of rocks. Seems like the lake is never coming, but push on as it's very much worth the climb.
It was a sunny, cloudless, 75-degree day, but the wind was chilly, especially by the lake, so be sure to bring layers. Still some prime wildlflowers here and there.
We arrived at the trailhead about 11:30 am, which put us back home in Seattle by 9 pm after hiking and hitting Sunday night I-90 traffic. Reccommend getting there earlier, if going on a Sunday.
