Heart Lake via Lily Basin Trail — Friday, Aug. 17, 2001

South Cascades > Goat Rocks
Jordan Creek trail up into the Goat Rocks was in fantastic shape. Spent the night at bluff camp on Goat Ridge with fantastic views of the clouds running up the valleys. Next day, went up to Goat Lake and then Hawkeye Point. Unbelievable flowers in Goat Creek basin and Hawkeye Point has to be the best view in all of the Goat Rocks. Watch out on Lily Basin Trail #86 between Hawkeye Pt. trail and Heart Lake. Steep snow field still across trail and multiple washouts on talus slope. Heart Lake is warm enough for swimming now and has plenty of camp spots. We took the Angry Mountain trail down and it is in OK shape with lots of blow-down.
