点评:This hike was on our bucket list for 6 years. It did not disappoint! We started hiking right at sunrise in late July. Wildflowers were a little past peak.
The hike up was exhausting, but we did the hike counterclockwise and reached Island Lake after about 2 hours. Island Lake was simply stunning and we relaxed here for about 45 min with only the few overnight campers there with us.
We then headed down to Ice Lake, with sweeping views en route. Ice Lake also must be seen to be believed. The color was magical, though by this time the shore was getting a little busier.
We decided to also head over to Fuller Lake. While the hike to the lake was nice, we didn't think Fuller Lake added anything to our visit to the basin. Next time we would just do Island and Ice (counterclockwise again for sure).
It was really getting busy as we headed back to the trailhead. We finished the hike in about 7 hours total, and clocked total mileage as just under 10 mi. RT. We are strong hikers and this was definitely a challenge, but one we'll never forget!
翻译:这次徒步旅行是我们 6 年来的心愿清单之一。它没有让我们失望!我们在七月下旬日出时开始徒步旅行。野花已经过了最佳观赏期。
上山的路很累,但我们逆时针徒步,大约 2 小时后到达岛湖。岛湖非常漂亮,我们在这里休息了大约 45 分钟,只有几个过夜露营者与我们同行。
然后我们前往冰湖,沿途风景一览无余。冰湖也必须亲眼所见才能相信。颜色很神奇,不过此时湖岸变得有点拥挤。
我们决定也去富勒湖。虽然徒步到湖边很不错,但我们认为富勒湖并没有给我们的盆地之旅增添任何亮点。下次我们只去岛和冰湖(肯定还是逆时针)。
当我们回到步道入口时,那里真的很忙。我们总共花了大约 7 个小时完成了徒步旅行,总里程不到 10 英里。RT。我们都是强壮的徒步旅行者,这无疑是一次挑战,但我们永远不会忘记!
