Destination changed late due to thunderstorms at our original destination.

From the Fragrance Lake trailhead we will take the Fragrance Lake trail up to connect with the South Lost Lake trail, then continue on to Lost Lake for our lunch stop.  We will return the same way.  We will do the loop around Fragrance Lake either on the way up or the way back, depending on group preference.
