End of the trail
Still looking to escape crowds, we made the shortish trek to this amazing lake. The 6 km. trail was wide and somewhat steep at the beginning, but soon narrowed and mellowed and trotted past open parks that hinted at the spectacle of mountains all around. Suddenly the ground dropped away and the water shimmered below. The forest parted on the lake shore to reveal a turquoise blue lake and a stunning wall of mountain and glacier. We had a snack and a bit of water before retracing our steps back to the truck.
