After a 3 pm start went to the Ice Lakes via the Carne-Leroy trail (Aug 5-7). From Phelps Creek took the Carne Mountain trail. Got water in the basin below Carne and camped night one at the old lookout site. Next day proceeded to the pass between Carne and the lookout peak and continued over to a sign that indicated trail to the right (Rock Creek Trail). I went straight instead on the Carne-Leroy. This is one fine trail! Much better than going across on the Phelps Creek Freeway. Views and flowers, water and camping. Trail in great shape to Chipmunk Creek where the high route begins. Hike up Chipmunk Creek to upper basin and to obvious saddle on left to find trail again over to below pass to Ice Lakes. This is actually another saddle but a short scramble brings one to above the lakes. Camped at upper Ice. Next morning to car in 4.5 hrs. 3 days/ 2 nights 5000'+ in, 1500' out, 19 miles total.
