I have always felt very lucky that I am able to spend as much time as I do in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Because of this I feel like it is important for me to share this with people who haven't had this type of exposure. I usually plan at least one trip with a group of people who have had somewhat limited time in the mountains. It usually quite a spectacle to see one of these motley crews coming up the trail. Today was no exception. There was 5 of us and 3 dogs for today's trip to Squaw Lake. I had picked this hike because it is quite short and limited on climbing. I also have seen some very big trout for some of the fisherman in the group. The trail was in much better shape than some of my companions, but we ended up making it there without too much damage to the group. All in all it was one of my more memorable days in the mountains. We did see some VERY big trout but none were landed.
