Rachel Lake — Monday, May. 29, 2023

We hiked this on Labor day and it was gorgeous weather. Still quite a bit of snow on some areas of the trail but you could tell it was melting fast. We ended up turning back because of sunlight and difficulty trail finding towards the last climb up to the lake. We passed a few groups who made it all the way to the lake but they started much earlier than us. Still worth the views and gorgeous sights along the way. Would love to hike this trail again when it's in a little bit better shape.
