- Snow on trail
Decided to fit one last fall hike in before the snow hits the upper hills this week. Ingalls was a great choice but we sure didn't beat the snow. Only 4 cars at the trailhead. High clouds on the way in with all summits visible (including Stuart). We got to the lake in a couple of hours and then watched the clouds roll in and the snow flakes started to fall. The dusting of white that lasted for our entire trip down was beautiful. It added contrast to the existing fall colors, including the larch. Plenty of goats on the way in but I think they found shelter during the flurries because they left their high rocky perch. Lovely day....but very cold. The rocks were getting slick and the basin/camp area is frozen and preparing for winter. Ahhh...the change of seasons.
