Probably the coolest lake I’ve ever been too! Heavily trafficked with people because of the resort but still a beautiful place to be! Water was cold as of may 28th! Seen a few water snakes but they were harmless.

One of my favorite places in the world. Always healing. Will come here for the rest of my life, make sure to come when the park is open and the snow has melted away, easy 30 min hike to the lake or a quick off road trip P.S. visit my etsy @crystalsbyalex for cool crystals 😅
