Day Hike - Margaret Lake
Mon, Oct 10, 2016
This moderate uphill climb to a crest and finally leading down to lakes. If done with potential icing, it proves challenging and poles are a helpful tool to staying upright.

Awesome inclement weather trip! ...with constant rain from mild to pouring; winds ~80 Kph/~50 Mph. We felt alive!
This work party was somewhat disorganized with unclear communication on what was being done and who was doing it. Really unclear directions on how to actually get to the lodge.
The weather was windy and raining at the parking lot. 10 minutes from the car the rain stopped, lots of wind but no more rain. We quickened the pace to take advantage of the favorable conditions. A great trip was had by all, car to car about 4.5 Hours.
This is a great hike with many special views, which were unfortunately lost in the clouds. The access road is annoying but tolerable washboard, but there are a few spots that are approaching impassible at any speed over 1 mph.
Great leaders and a hard but great scramble!
An enjoyable hike, everyone on time, weather good, trail excellent condition
Excellent climb with great people. Weather held off and we had Ingalls all to ourselves.
A lovely overnight trip to Pete Lake with fall colors and hours around the campfire
Enjoyable climb in glorious weather despite iffy forecast.
Successful summit to Mt. Dickerman. Bear sighting just off trail. 2 participants stung by hornets; benadryl and pain reliever given.
A late season traverse of Marcus Peak and Grand Park using the ridge NW of Marcus Peak (~5000' & ~16 miles). We staged a vehicle at Sunrise before heading out from Sunrise Point to save ~3 miles from a prior 2014 trip.
Bandera is always a great trip with mixed hiking terrain for a good workout
