Freezing level was 2500 ft. so we decided to hike Lena Lake, elevation highest point 2000 ft. Hiked a well graded switchback and came upon an area of lush green moss covering boulders that in August were not even noticed. We enjoyed the variety and beauty of mushrooms along the trail that were white, yellow, green, purple, orange & black. Had lunch on a rock above the lake enjoying a sunbreak before continuing on the trail around the lake, past the cutoff for Upper Lena Lake, across the bridge over Lena Creek & past the cutoff to the Brothers. Continued to the right past campsites and discovered beautiful pools of water carved into rock. Turned around when the trail became faint. We recommend this fantastic late fall hike.
