Nice trail with a good amount of tree cover. The sunny spots were never very long. Being this late in the season there was only one little creek running. Half Moon Meadow was kind of cool and a signal that you were going to be getting some AEG. This wore me down pretty good. You hit one little false grassy saddle before the real one. From there the views open up and before long you are looking down at a few lakes. Very pretty. The lakes were spread out and a little more work then other multi lake areas I've been to. We checked out the first one, took a break, and heard a pack of coyotes. At first we thought someone was hollering from jumping in the cold water

. I was dragging a little

and there is no crying in hiking(per Kelly

) so I got a headstart on the climb while Kelly and John checked out a couple more lakes. Shortly after I spotted a coyote and verified what we heard earlier. Slow climb but shook it off and had a very nice stroll back to the trailhead. Very nice area and can see why the backpackers like it. I think most people we saw were backpakers including a nice Lady Ranger. Good times!
