This was a very nice weekend backpacking trip. The trail to the lake was shady pretty much the whole way. We found a large, level campsite twenty feet from the water near the NW corner of the lake. The lake itself was cool but not icy. Where we went in, the shallows were a bit muddy, but the water got deep quickly.
I hiked to the ridge overlooking Lake Dorothy on the second day, then returned to camp. There were a few blowdowns across the trail, but they weren't hard to get around.
