Wildflowers blooming
Lots of cars at the trail head and it made me fear a mass at the lake but by the time I got up there most had cleared out. Most people must take the upper trail because I saw just two on the lower. The night was quiet with only me and another couple camping. Big thunderstorm came in at midnight and lightning was hitting the ridges. My dog and I tried to make it to the big waterfall on the left side of the lake but it's pretty overgrown and he couldn't scramble far.

I'm not sure what I can add that hasn't been said already, this lake is beautiful. Thanks to the fire crew I saw that was clearing up the trail.
