Lake Ingalls — Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025

The 9 mile dirt forest road was rough with several sections of pot holes. Parking lot was full on arrival at 9:45am on a Saturday. The vault toilet was being serviced when we arrived.

This was such a lovely hike! Overall not too steep and views the entire way. The lake was beautiful and there were no bugs! Some signs of mountain goats (scat and tufts of hair) but we did not encounter any. The trail at the last climb to the lake was hard to follow but we made it.

By the time we got back to the trailhead around 3pm the line of cars down the forest road was long, and the newly serviced toilet was already out of TP.
