Day Hike - Lake Ingalls

Trip

Day Hike - Lake Ingalls

Love larches but don't care for crowds? Join my annual weekday Larch March to see the spectacular larch colors, Ingalls Lake, Mt. Stuart, and possibly mountain goats.

  • Strenuous
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 9.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,600 ft
  • Pace: 2 mph

Meet at the Esmeralda Basin/Ingalls Lake trailhead at 8:00am. Details will be sent prior to the trip.

In previous years, this has been an excellent week for seeing the larches.  While we will be hiking at a moderate pace allowing time for photos, please make sure you are comfortable with the distance and elevation gain. You should have hiked a similar  trail recently. Expect chilly weather and poles and spikes may  be required.
