Beautiful hike. We were able to get a parking spot in the upper lot at 9am. Cars were lined on the street. It was clouded over in the morning but backpackers coming from the overnight camping told us it was clear up top. Clouds started to clear as we went up and it was mostly clear by the time we reached the basin and foggy lake.
Trail: It is hard hike. It took us 4 hours to get to the foggy lake with some breaks for snacks and water. Most of the elevation packed in 3 miles. Later half is quite rocky so watch your step. The first big lake you see is not the foggy lake. We saw some people returning from there thinking that was foggy lake. You have to keep going following the blue and white little flags up the boulders, stones to get to the foggy lake. The last part was steep with 2 false summits so keep going. Absolutely beautiful and worth the hard work!
