The first night dipped down into the 40's, making Saturday's rise a chilly one. Fire was our cherished friend this weekend, and each morning's top priority.

Tastes Lake Water
5 miles doesn't sound like a sufficient distance to provide ultimate seclusion, yet somehow, we reached it in under 3 hours. We stomped out 2000 feet of elevation to reach the Emerald and Heather lakes, and the end of the trail. Lots of MTB traffic which grew me green. Brutal switchbacks about 3/5 of the way up, followed directly by an open meadow, brothers jeering, and then lake after lake. Josh pushed us to go the extra half mile to Heather, and within the hour we all agreed on the best site, situated right next to the "babbling brook" runoff, looking into the bowl.
