8 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain • 1 night
Not wanting to spend the night in snow, we headed out to Ancient Lakes for the first time. The hike in is incedibily easy. We set up camp away from everyone else, made our way up the waterfall, and then continued to scramble up some of the steep mesa walls. Beautiful views looking back down. Just make sure you pack in your water. The lakes are full of chemicals from the irrigation in the surrounding farmland.
