one last adventure

We decided we needed to get one last hike in before we head back, Lofty Lake Loop, a highly recommended hike in the Wasatch, quite near the Bald Mtn Hike we did. Lofty Lake is the highest lake in the range at 10,500ish, glad the trailhead was at about 9,500 so elevation gain was "modest". After reading some reviews, we decided to do the loop counter-clockwise, a wise decision because the scenery began within the first few tenths of a mile. (not so clockwise)

The hike is mostly at or above treeline, so the views were great.

This was Picturesque Lake, not Pretty Lake or Nice Looking Lake, but Picturesque Lake
