We took the kids on
an overnight up to Greider Lakes. The trail is steep, but in great shape and only two miles to the first lake and another 10 mintes to the second one. A huge thanks to the people who must have put in some very hard hours of labor building all the switchbacks and steps that make it possible to reach these lovely lakes! There are some beautiful, clean campsites by both lakes. Unfortunately, the port-a-potties are located right on the shore of the smaller lake, ruining the view from many vantage points. The fish are definitely in residence. A short time at the shore yielded lot's of nibbles and one nice, fat hatchery trout, caught and released. It didn't start raining until we were snug in our tents and in the morning, though it was drizzly and damp, the mist on the lake was hauntingly beautiful. Even after a night of rain, we found almost no mud or standing water on the trail back down. Well done!
