Hope and Mig Lakes by JCMHIKES

Started in the late afternoon, saw only one other hiker. Wanted to do Trap or Josephine today but ran out of time. This is more of a ridgeline hike with surprising elevation gain. I don’t know if it was the afternoon heat or the terrain but I got more of a workout than expected.

The bugs were awful. Worse at Hope than Mig. Couldn’t even stop to enjoy the water or have a snack.

I will never complain about the opportunity to get outside and enjoy our natural beauty, but frankly this was a disappointing venture today.
