Lake Ingalls — Monday, Sep. 1, 2025

What a beautiful day for a hike in the area.  The parking lot was almost full when I arrived at 8:44am.  The trail had people on it but there were times I didn't see anyone for quite a while.  Weather was perfect, slight breeze.  Lake was gorgeous.  Biggest problem I had was losing the trail on the boulder field after Ingalls Pass (both ways).  But I had a good idea where is should be so it wasn't long before I was back on trail.  Just don't trust the cairns sprinkled along the way.....
