Ingalls Creek
Nice weather, but a few clouds rolled in later. The creek was flowing high. I only went 3.7 miles in. I was hoping for more striking mountain views, but I think you need to get further up the valley to see those. Two huge fallen trees will require a little agility to get around them. First snow patch was seen about 2.1 miles in, but not on the trail. Right around here was the best campsite. The first trail snow was seen about 3.4 miles in, but not enough to stop progress.

This is a great early-season hike: it's an especially good choice around Memorial Day. But don't go expecting views...even though it's a stone's throw from the Enchantments and Mount Stuart it sits too low in the river valley to ever get a good vantage on those.
