Overnight trip to Bench & Snow Lake. As we were headed up to the lake everyone hiking to the TH mentioned bugs, bugs, bugs. We were prepared but we all know bugs can be an annoyance especially when you would like to sit outside and relax by the lake. There were bugs along the trail as we got closer to the lake so we believed the comments to be true.
We made it to camp and chose site#1. It is a much smaller site but allows for direct access to the lake and amazing views. Site#2 is a little tucked back but the ground is softer allowing for tents (at least 2) to be easily staked vs, site 1. There is a privy tucked back farther behind site#2.
There were NO BUGS around our camp area at all. We were in shock as everyone mentioned escaping bugs and we experienced some on trail. That allowed us to explore a little bit of the unmaintained trail, play games, eat dinner, and relax by the lake. Exactly what we were hoping for.
The next morning we still did not notice any bugs during breakfast/camp chores until we began to pack up camp. At that point we started moving a little faster as they seemed to appear out of nowhere. Another trip in the books!
It is a short moderate hike with amazing views to wake up to!
