| partners | | ten lakes was one of our top choices for the trip, and it was a good one
had to pack up camp because i couldn't get the same spot for saturday night
got going around 7:00 with temps in the 40s
a moderate uphill through the woods took care of the chill soon enough
passed half moon tank just past three miles, then the grade got a little steeper until topping out at ten lakes pass
nice open area with views of surrounding peaks and at least three lakes
dropped several hundred feet into ten lakes basin
arrived at the first lake and wandered around a bit
denny decided to enjoy his hike back out early while john and i did some exploring
went upstream to the two lakes we could see from the pass
really beautiful area perfect for backpacking
it would be nice to relax, explore and take a dip
the ascent back out wasn't that bad, and we finished with the five miles down from the pass
we all decided that was enough for the day
talked the boys into making a visit to crane flat lookout
interesting historical fire tower with some cool stuff inside - worth a stop
had time to hit the crane flat store and relax at camp
would definitely do this hike again but as a backpack |
