Three of us left the parking lot/trailhead about 10:30 am. It was warm and sunny; a beautiful day. It actually became hot during the hike.
The trail was dry and dusty; no signage but if you had seen a map of the area you could tell which way to go(to the left when the main trail splits; the trail to Dusty Lake starts at the same trailhead and goes straight at the split).
Hiking was easy with not a lot of elevation gain; we chose to go up a to a ridge that was a bit steeper so as to get a different view. There were three or four lakes at trails end, as well as a waterfall. The (optional) trail going around the lake with the waterfall requires caution; lots of loose rocks. The trip to the lakes is short; it took us about 50 minutes of easy hiking. Lots of sagebrush. Basalt cliffs surround the little valley we hiked in.
A very family friendly hike, as long as you have enough water.
