Write Up:
A beautiful day to explore a hidden gem. Lots of fresh huckleberries on the lower slopes. We did some completely unnecessary and thoroughly enjoyable scrambling on a few bands of cliffs in the basin on our way to the saddle between Red and Spot. Could have just walked around on the meadow, but we chose to play instead. Spent some time exploring the Lonely Lakes basin as well. Went swimming in the lower lake and then went to the upper lake, which was totally worthwhile. Had a lovely ridge walk over to Spot. There was substantially more water in the creek than a few weeks prior, so instead of descending via the creekbed we opted for the light bushwhack back to the trail. Starting at the entrance station made for a lovely loop.
