Lake Ingalls — Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023

pure beauty, pure chaos.

the larches as everyone else has mentioned are spectacular! the neon green wolf lichen entangled with the golden hues of the larches is so whimsical and ephemeral. to hear the sound of wind is such a gift!

thankfully only heard one person playing music from a speaker but any signs of trail etiquette were gone with the wind, maybe to be expected with this large of a crowd.

these beautiful places are not going to be here forever and so stomping through meadows is going to help speed up that process.

be prepared to scramble up to the lake after reaching the meadow! side note - the larches are not at the lake!
