Lake Ingalls — Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011

Snoqualmie Region > Salmon La Sac/Teanaway

Great overnight hike. Trail to lake was well-maintained with many friendly day-hikers. Camped at Headlight Basin. Plenty of water and jaw-dropping views of Mt. Stuart. There were plenty of mountain goats, that kept to themselves and would leave the area with a polite "Shooo." Mosquitos were horrid. Bring loose fitting long-sleeves and pants and head-netting, if possible. Bug repellent is a must. Views are worth the itching. Lake Ingalls had snow on the South and West side and the trail is accessible, just be careful. Water is frigid, but when it's 80+ degrees, a quick dip in the pond is "Oh-So" refreshing.
