Williams Lake, Dutch Miller Gap & La Bohn Gap — Saturday, Jul. 1, 2023

Central Cascades
Williams Lake

Found a pair of corrective glasses along Dutch Miller trail. Comment with contact info if they're yours!

We used the July 4 weekend for a 3-night trip from Dingford Creek trailhead to Williams lake, including an evening jaunt to Chain Lakes.

Not much to add on top of MeLuckyTarns's report from a few days ago:

  • Chain Lakes basin is ~75% melted out.
  • Bugs were most annoying from Pedro Camp to Williams Lake. Not too bad in the forest below.
  • Wildflowers: Tiger Lilies and Columbines are the most prominent, but also saw some blooming Bear Grass in the meadows, as well as Pinesap and Pacific Coralroot in the forest.
  • The last section of the Middle Fork Trail before Hardscrabble horse camp is quite brushy, but blowdowns have been cleared.
