Lena Lake, The Brothers — Saturday, Aug. 29, 2020

We did a day-hike up to the Brothers Base Camp via Lena Lake. Trail to Lena Lake was in great condition and very busy (not surprising for Saturday). About half of hikers were wearing masks and all were good about keeping distance while passing, so overall very comfortable. Most of the campsites at the lake were taken. After leaving the lake to head to the Brothers base camp, the trail was in mostly good condition but with a few trees blown over and one or two places where it was a little tricky to follow the trail, but we never got lost for more than 2-3 minutes before finding it again with cairns or trail tape. We only saw six other hikers heading to the base camp - all equipped to climb the next day. Several thimbleberry and huckleberries were ripe though a bit sour! Overall great hike and really enjoyed it!
