Took a group of Boy
Scouts and parents up the trail as our first hike in preparation for a 60+ miler in August. We all had full packs on to get the true flavor of the mountain goat experience. It rained off and on, but we enjoyed the spectacular views of the falls along the route as well as the magnificent view of the snow-covered mountain range. Snow appears on the trail approximately 1 mile from the lake- sporadic at first. By the time we reached the lake we were all wet and hungry- but what boy scout isn't' Some of the early arrivers witnessed a small avalanche across the frozen lake. They also spotted a beaver or otter. We changed into dry clothes, ate lunch, and departed. The trip down requires careful footing- for both old and young alike. We're recommend good boots- (no tennis shoes)- bring your 10 essentials, and dress for rain. It wouldn't be hard to get caught wet and hypothermic here. All in all an invigorating trip.
