11.5 miles of hiking • 4000' elevation gain • 1 night
Our original plan was Bear Lake, but it was sufficiently hot-as-hell out to make stopping at North Lake an easy decision. This trail is cruel and unusual—unyieldingly steep throughout. It will be a while before I do this trail again. The lake itself was okay—shallow with a mud bottom. I caught a few decent sized eastern brook trout near the outlet on wet flies; one of the fish already had a fishing fly stuck in his tongue!

Yep, Wyeth. There was maybe 30 feet of snow walking on the entire trail.

Wow, there's not much snow up there! Which trail did you come up - Wyeth?
