Panorama Lake
Backraft Score: 9/10
While the steep (and often non-existent) trail to this lake can be a bit of a bear, driving 2,800 feet from the valley floor makes the day feel like a total hack! Having only recently recovered from knee surgery, Jack had a hard time going down, and I gashed my shin open on some talus trying to help him. Even so, I think it was probably still worth it for the stunning views, great swimming, and fun day out. 💙
A stunning puddle!
