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!
Our group for today. From right: Larry (AKA WimpeHiker, and our trip leader), Renée, Frank (yours truly). Larry and I previously hiked together at
Stevens Trail in 2004. Today was my first time hiking with Renée, and it was great meeting her.
