10 miles of hiking • 3250' elevation gain •
This trip was intended as an overnight backpack, but the cold temps (I was guessing it would get down to the mid-teens) had me change my mind once I got up there. Started up the trail around 1p and made it back to the car around 6p. The lake ice was making incredible sounds. Eventually I want to get up to little Bear Lake. No snow, but ice covering the trail for the last half mile or so. It's amazing how little snow there is this year.
