5.5 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
Still some snow above 4800 feet, but Deep and Cultus Lake are melted out. The bugs are just about gone, might be bad at dusk, but not mid day.
Jumped in for a swim, 4 teenagers from PDX, Chicago and NYC, plus one 50 year old mama in an alpine lake. Then we relaxed on the shore, reading, sketching and basking in the sun on a beeyooteeful day. This is what we work so hard for!
