10 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
Started early to beat the crowds, but they never showed up! Just me and the pikas. Had the lakes to myself and just saw a few folks coming in on my return trip. Would love to return for a backpack and scramble up the local summits.
The only drawback to this hike is it takes quite awhile to get away from the drone of I-90. It's like the gorge, but louder.
