10 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain •
Started out in the morning mists from the Tonga Ridge Trail Head. The skies soon cleared and we arrived at Sawyer Pass beneath clear blue skies. Headed south to Fisher Lake. First 1/2 mile or so is overgrown then a bit of a slick go through a creek bed before finally coming out in a meadow and onto a well-worn trail with easy tread. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed a midday meal on some rocks along the shore. Clouds began moving in as we departed for the return trek but we avoided bad weather. All in all a wonderful day to a beautiful lake.
