Big Five / Little Five Lakes Loop

The view up canyon from lake 10,192.

Lake Trail

Big 5, Little 5 Lakes Loop and Sawtooth Pass, August 4th to 7th, 2000.

I finally reached a large rocky section that protruded into the lake that looked like there might be camps, but what I found was not level or pleasant enough for camping. However, there were some signs that the area got regular camp visits, few as they might be.

Another look at the high point south of lake 10,192.

Further and after some up-and-down trail meandering, I reached the point where the trail climbed steeply up a hill to depart the lake. A side trail lead off along the shore and I assumed ended up at the main camp sites of the lake and area or perhaps a cross-country route down to the next lake. Or both.
