1st trip
today's hike was moose lake and moose mountain with side trips to blacktail and estelle lakes
quite a bit of fog on the drive to the trailhead
set out on the loop trail around 0830 with temps in the 40s and moist trail conditions
counterclockwise on the loop, taking the spur to blacktail lake
good trail, slightly uphill, a few boardwalk sections
we stopped at the lake for a few minutes, then returned to the main loop
we made the ascent to moose mountain along a scenic ridgeline
took in the views at the summit, including of our next stop at moose lake
dropped to the lake and had a snack break
back on the main loop, we opted for the two miles to lake estelle
different terrain along the side of a hill and drier, more open forest
arrived at the lake, the prettiest of the three complete with a few trout
back to the main loop and then to the trailhead
saw no one all day
no moose either :(
there were huckleberries :)
good hike, nice variety, great choice for the day
