Gorgeous day hike up to Ingalls Lake!
We slept at the trailhead and then got an early start up trail 1390. The majority of the trail is very navigable until the trail splits into 1390.1 and 1390.2. From there it is less obvious and easier to lose your way. We ended up scrambling over some big/huge boulders only to find the trail went on above us. We met others on the trail having difficulty finding their way which in the end actually will damage more by people going off trail so it would be nice to have good markers on such a heavily used trail. Also, if you are out there and see signs that say "Closed for Restoration" please respect that! We saw a hammock hanging in an area clearly marked closed for restoration.
There were not too many bugs about but I did get 3 mosquito bites. The trail was quite clear of garbage and only saw one toilet paper pile about 3 ft off trail. Ew.
The road to the trailhead was easy in our Prius, just washboard and there is a privy at the trailhead.
