We left the trailhead at 10AM or so. There were two dozen cars or so. The hike to Lake Ann is quick and easy. We continued on up to Heather Pass and then ventured across the rocks to Lewis Lake. Quite a few fish were visible, but we couldn't get any to bite. We headed back to Heather Pass and then up to Maple Pass. No snow was encountered until you hit the top of the ridgeline on the way up to Maple Pass. The views were great from the ridge top. The side of the loop that continues down toward Rainy Lake is much steeper than the side that brings you into Lake Ann. I'm glad we went clockwise like we did. We were back to the car at 5PM.
Bugs were moderate. Quite tolerable with some good DEET. I was surprised at how many people we enountered later in the day. This must be a relatively popular hike.
