Managed to steal away for one last backpacking weekend before winter sets in! We'd had Tank Lakes on the list for some time, and it turned out to be the perfect destination for late October - relatively low-lying and easy to get to the trailhead, but still offering plenty of solitude and stunning views!
Trail was easy to follow and pretty much as advertised from TH to Necklace Valley. After Opal Lake, though, it's all social trails and sparse cairns up over the saddle to Tank. Highly recommend a good map or GPS track (we found several available for download on Gaia and AllTrails).
Saw one group out foraging along the Foss, and maybe 4 other backpacking parties at the lakes, but there's enough space that we felt like we had the place to ourselves!
