So beautiful, had a moose come through our campsite! The lake was a little smaller than we had anticipated, but the scenery was beautiful, and the trail was well maintained and relatively flat except when we took a detour to lake hessie. That had a good amount of uphill, but the lake there was sooo gorgeous too! Definitely recommend hitting both if you’re going for a couple days.
