Lonesome Lake is one of those hikes that offers a big bang for your buck - a lot of lovely for minimal to moderate effort. After lunch we went inside to check out the Lonesome Lake Hut and met caretaker Jake who was winding his gig as caretaker on May 30th and moving on to the AMC Construction Crew for the summer. We added the .5-mile loop around the lake, and it certainly was worth it! |
