Dusty washboard road.
Arrived at the lake just before 10am.
Already lots of parked cars and warm termperatures.
And so my accountant and I headed up (or down, to start) the trail.
Very pleasant until after Spray Falls and then it was hot and steep.
The meadows were gorgeous, Av lilies waning, lots of fragrant lupine and that mountain.
No marmots, the nice cool underground much more attractive than the hot summer sun.
Took a water filter and the cool fresh water from the stream at the entry to Spray Park was a welcome relief.
My accountant tells me we passed 95 people coming in on our way down.
She also decided to rechristen the hike, renaming it BUG Spray Park.
