Day Hike - Owyhigh Lakes

The section of trail up to Owyhigh Lakes was wide and very nicely graded with very few roots or rocks, just a few switchbacks.  Just past the lakes, the trail to Tamanos took off to the right and set out fast angling up steeply through flower meadows in a deep trench with places to step on either side of the trench.  Mostly dirt with larger rocks.  From the saddle up to the peak was larger rocks, pretty clear route, until the first 'peak' - from there, the main peak was beyond a large boulder pile that required some scramble skills to get around so the group stopped at the first peak for lunch before heading back down.  I found the descent on the meadow to be steep but not particularly slippery - lots of 'stop rocks' and few rolling pebbles.
