Searching for the Enchanted Pools, near Wrights Lake, on the edge of the Desolation Wilderness. Larry (AKA WimpeHIker) led Renée and me on a rambling hike on the Rockbound and Tyler Lake Trails, then short XC down to the upper Enchanted Pool. From there, we went to the lower Enchanted Pool, then XC up a gully and on slabs back to the Twin Lakes Trail and back to the trailhead. It was a warm, sunny day. The water was lower than normal, due to the light snowpack, but there was still plenty of water to enjoy. This is a special place. If you go there, be gentle and leave no trace!
This is where we hiked. We could show the exact location of the Enchanted Pools, but that would take all the fun out of it. If I were looking for the Enchanted Pools, I would check along the Twin Lakes Creek, just above and downstream of where it is joined by Umpa Lake Creek.
