Solo overnight trip to Thunder Mountain Lakes via Tunnel Creek. I started around 1pm with clear skies and made it to the upper lake around 6pm with fog so thick I couldn't see 100 yards ahead of me. The trail was not too difficult to navigate, even in the fog. Cairns were easy to spot and the boulder fields not too tedious.
I hung my bag from a tree and had no issues with any mice, or other wildlife, getting into my food.
When I woke up the next morning at 6am I was delighted to see clear skies and the most beautiful sunrise with an inversion layer! What a change from the fog that stayed until at least 4am.
This place is a Pika wonderland. Pika are everywhere and I could hear them through the night meeping!
