| no partners | | I did this little hike on my second day in the Wind River Range. I kept the miles low, as it was just kind of a sight seeing day and myself and the dogs were still a little weary from the long drive out from Michigan.
The trailhead area was a little busy with hikers, boaters nearby and a horse party prepping for a trip into the backcountry. The trail was in excellent shape and the views along the north shore of the lake were superb. The trail was a little warm however, as there was not much shade apart from a short stretch in the beginning. We turned around sometime just after Boulder Basin and spent a little time at the “beach” on the far end of the lake. |
