Chain Lakes Loop — Thursday, Jul. 31, 2025

Spectacular hike with incredible scenery and views the whole way. Lakes, meadows, vistas, flowers, and two big mountains. We did the loop counter clockwise starting at the Bagley Lakes Trailhead, which I would do again, as I preferred descending the staircases on Wild Goose trail at the end. The snow is basically all melted out except for one or two small patches. There is very little shade on this trail, so it was quite hot on a sunny day. We waded at Iceberg Lake which did help refresh us for the rest of the loop.
