Colchuck Lake, Lake Stuart — Saturday, May. 31, 2025

Set out to do Colchuck Lake and backtrack to camp at Lake Stuart. Got a late start and managed to get a good spot in the overnight spots, lot of cars at trailhead and definitely a lot of day hikers parking in the overnight spots. Made good time to Colchuck with the last 1.5 miles being the worst bit. No snow and trail is protected from the wind. Lake Stuart was beautiful even with a rain shower coming in. Plenty of spots to camp without being close to people. Bugs were present but not bad at all.
