This hike was plan B. John is good about making sure we have plan B's

. Original plan was to go over the Col and down to Evolution Lake with some off trail. Just to much for this ol fart in a day. Plan B's are good. The book I have rates the long version 10 for scenery and 6 for solitude. If you just go to Lamarck lakes and back it rates it an 8 for scenery and 6 for solitude. We went to the Col which adds the views of Darwin Canyon and then added Mount Lamarck. I'd say at least a 9 for scenery. On this hike you get to check out some cool lakes, see some Pinnacles, hit a Col (saddle), and bag a summit. Along with some awesome views and great company it made for a great day.
The hike is well defined passed the Lamarck lakes and up to the base of the Col. From there it's a short scramble up to the Col. From there getting to the summit takes some route finding. From the Col we dropped down a little on the left side. Then go along south side heading west until you see a "doable" route up. Truth be told I followed John and he picked a good route

. Great views. Going back down went easier. Enjoyable hike but you do earn the views with some good AEG. Always a good time hiking with these two! :y:
