Comments
Comments: The hike to Lonesome Lake and the AMC hut was easy to moderate, but once past the lake, it was steep and rough, particularly the last 0.2 mile to the top. I got away with using microspikes, but snowshoes would be helpful on the higher elevations. There were some views near the top, but none on the top itself.

The lake was frozen, so I cut off some distance and walked across it to the hut, which was quite fun.

All in all, a great day on the trails.
