10.1 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain •
This is a favorite hike in Indian Heaven Wilderness, and it didn't disappoint today. The parking lot wasn't full, and it appeared that we saw all the backpackers headed back to the TH from Blue Lake. About three hours of our hike was without seeing any people on the trail! The water levels were low and it was weird to not see any snow this early in the season! The Bear Grass was blooming in profusion and littered the forest under the canopy. It looks like there will be plenty of Huckleberries this season as there is plenty of bushes everywhere! No hikers seen on the PCT, but we didn't expect any this early. Exceptional day in a perfect Wilderness!
