Went on a repeat 3 day trip to Silver Lake and Twin Lakes near Monte Cristo. The trails are in excellent condition, though the stretch between Poodle Dog Pass and Twin Lakes is pretty overgrown in places. This combined with the rain made for a pretty solid drenching. Bugs were definitely out in force.
Day 1 I hiked to Silver Lake, and then scrambled most of Silver Tip. Day 2 I hiked to Twin Lakes, and then scrambled most of Columbia. Both scrambles have some class 3 and 4 rock; Silver Tip has a couple class 5 moves to get onto the peak (which I did not attempt).
Views were excellent, especially with the haze from Canada lingering in the area. The full trip report and photos are available at the link.
