We hiked this trail because of a recommendation by a park ranger in Marboulmount when we were too late for the Sahale Glacier Permit.
The views at the top were really amazing, but the hike up was brutal. I definitely would do this hike again, but only if I was able to stay overnight at the lake again. The sunset and sunrise make it worth it! Because its such a tough hike (935 ft/mile for 5 miles - basically straight up the whole way), it is very private. There are also only two backcountry camp permits available for the lake so it that was awesome as well! I'd say this is my favorite alpine lake I've ever been too!
Definitely recommend, but go mentally prepared for a challenge!
