Lena Lake — Monday, Aug. 11, 2025

I hiked to Lena Lake today. I got a late start shortly after noon and there was sun on the trail making it toasty. There is no water on the way up to the lake so bring what you need. At the lake the ducks were very friendly demonstrating they have been fed by others. They came right up to my feet as I ate my lunch (I did not share). I dupped in the lake which felt great. Not super busy on a Monday and ZERO smoke. Also, if you are backpacking the toilet is new and 10/10 for a box on a hill toilet. I was bit twice by biting flies, otherwise no bugs.
