Absolutely my best hike this year and at the exact right time to drop into headlight basin for the Larch spectacular. The sun was out in full and made the 45° feel great.
Since it was a Thursday, it wasn’t nearly as packed and crowded as I feared. I still had to park close to a half mile down from the TH though.
The trail up to the pass was in great condition as was the drop down into the basin. I did not continue up to the lake as the purpose for me was to see the Larches in full display. I took advantage and strolled around snapping pictures for a good two hours.
Next trip up will be to finish to the lake.
