Larches (Evan Buehler)
Wanting to get out on a sunny, but cool day, we decided to try Ingalls Lake. The weather could not have been better as we hiked up. Lots of sun but not too hot. There were small patches of snow going up but nothing too hard to navigate if you have hiking poles.
When we got to Ingalls Pass, we were treated to some spectacular views of Mt. Stuart. The larches are just starting to turn and look fabulous. I bet in a week or two they will be at their best.
The trail from the pass to Lake Ingalls had some snow and some icy sections. Again if you have boots and hiking poles its really easy to navigate. Lake Ingalls was beautiful as ever and the views there were equally stunning.
Navigating over the rocks to get to our lunch spot was hindered by the light dusting of snow so be careful!
