Thomas, Blue and Tombstone Lakes — Friday, Jun. 14, 2019

On a weekday, Friday hike, we encountered only two other hikers backpacking into Blue lake.  We had a wonderful hike in and out to Blue lake which was beautiful.  About 4.5 miles total one way hike, we encountered virtually no obstacles the first two thirds of the way to Blue lake. The last third did have patches of snow that we had to navigate, but not too difficult and always were able to find the trail on the other side. Of course, at this altitude and timing, did encounter plenty of mud and need to slightly circumvent the trail to avoid ponds, puddles, mud, etc. But again, completely navigable.
