Arrived at the parking lot on this warm Wednesday at 11am to a full lot and a handful of cars parked on the side of the road. Most people appeared to going toward Lake Ingalls since we only saw 2 other groups of people, one coming down and one going toward Esmeralda Basin/Lake Ann behind us.
The larches at Lake Ann were turning a bit brown, but it's still a beautiful lake to walk around. We could see Mt Rainier and Glacier Peak at the top of the ridge. Picas were out and meeping.
There were plenty of water source along the way. Trail was easy to follow.
