Lake Ann (Rainy Pass) — Thursday, Jun. 26, 2025

Great hike.  Our first alpine lake.  One tip for those who follow, the best view when you get to Lake Ann is the north-east corner.  When you get close to the lake, the trail starts splitting as hikers try to navigate the mud in the flats.  With the best views on the north-east always stay right in the flats.  You will end at a boulder field with open views and shoreline access.  Keep an eye out for the marmots.  We found at least one in every boulder field to include the lake.
