In the clouds most of the route until we got to Gem lake. Then we saw more blue sky as we proceeded up Wright mountain (5430'). We picked this trail because of the very wet conditions on an off-trail route anywhere else. Very little brush hanging over this well-maintained trail. Bugs were minimul due to the cool termperature (47°F starting out).
Total distnance 11.5 miles, about 3600' total gain.
The parking lot at Alpental was nearly full when we returned. A very popular hike to Snow or Gem lakes.
