Trip Report

The weather was perfect mid 70's for this beautiful hike that even the mosquitoes could not ruin. After passing the Erma Bell Lakes we hiked to Williams lake for lunch. Several of the group swam or put their feet in this amazing high mountain lake. We headed back on the loop passing Otter Lake near the end. We were surprised to see as many wildflowers as were still in bloom, Tiger Lilies, Columbine, Western Bunchberry, Lupine, Northern Star flower and White Lily's just to name a few.
