Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
this is the ice cave that was forming
Went up here on a Wednesday for the first time. Started at 11:30 am and there were a couple cars in the lot. Pretty hike, nice and shady for the 1st mile or so, then open and sunny. Saw the bear scat everyone has mentioned, but no bears. I like the little pools on the switchbacks and swam in the lake a bit, but it was very cold when you went further out. There was some snow at the end of the lake with a little ice cave forming, some stupid people went inside it without any gear or anything. Saw a few people on the trail, but i can see how this would be super busy on weekends, i think that would annoy me a lot so i am glad i went on a week day. Saw some bugs, but barely noticed.
