Six of us took a meandering hike through the Crooked Lakes. We headed up Round Lake Trail and then cross-country over and around boulders, outcroppings, and glacial erratics. Once again we headed through a stunning rock garden full of penstemon, mountain jewel flower, lupine, and mariposa lilies. We stopped for lunch at one of the Crooked Lakes. A cool wind came up as clouds gathered over the Sierra.
After more meandering, we hiked up to Milk Lake and then over to Round Lake. By the time we returned to the parking lot, we had hiked about 6+ miles with a mere 700+ foot elevation gain. As it turns out, only about 1.5 miles of the hike were off trail.
Back at Sutton, three of us ran into the 9 o'clock group just returning from Loney Meadow and Bull Pen Lake.
Next week we will hike again at 8:30.
